Checking on quality to see if it was just my shipment.

I picked up my 818s and coupe package. The body had some chips in the corners, there was rust on the forward connection of the coupe top at the end where the windshield attaches, and the roof looks like they had left it outside in the dirt. Is this typical or did I just draw the short straw and got an extra one they had in the back? The package also shipped with the old vent mesh pieces of the grill and body. The new coupe they have in the show room has a different kind of mesh for the hood and other vents is that what is supposed to come standard or is that something extra they did for there car only? FFR sells a great product I could not be happier with the car and experience they are offering I just had those couple questions figured I would check on your experiences.

Chips: My 818S had some voids and chips in corners (chassis 15) as did some others. I believe that has improved over time, but someone with a new model would know better.
Dirt: I had a fair amount of dirt and grass on the underside of the panels. Not on the gelcoat side, but the other side, as though they set them outside while not fully cured and stuff blew up into it.
Mesh: The front mesh they had on the 818C is a custom piece they did. The coupe ships with the nose insert blocked off. In the past they've shipped 818S pieces with the 818R that were useless so I'm not surprised they shipped 818S parts with the 818C.
