Melted carbon fiber cover tabs

Happy Holidays all! Just got my lovely daytona grey and wanted to give the carbon fiber covers some tlc. Noticed one of the mounting tabs melted when I removed it. All tubings were intact underneath the cover and no sign of leaks nearby too. Has anyone encountered this before. Thanks!

Ah, thought you was in the uk. The coat of shipping might outway the benefit.

Get em on TNT or UPS, theyre not particularly large and certainly not heavy being carbon fibre.

Thanks mike. Anyway aesthetics are the last item on my list for the moment. Have to sort out the brakes, drc and some SAI codes I have at the moment.

The malaysian government tax structure isnt really transparent and could impose heavy tax on items even though listed as gifts

No idea. Maybe they do these parts too? The covers came with the car, not sure bout their history
