Paint peeling from around front turn signals?

Well, here goes my first post...

I recently bought a 2004 Cooper and love it. The car is in great shape, but around the edges of the front turn signals, the paint is starting to peel back. It's tiny and I didn't even notice it until I brought the car home, but this isn't going to get better on its own.

My warranty is still in effect for a few more months, and I'm wondering if this might be covered. Any advice?

It looks like the PO had the bumper repainted. I notice some overspray at the 9 o'clock position on the turn signal so the shop didn't even bothered to disassemble the bumper prior to painting.

So if the bumper was indeed repainted, the only option is to track down the shop that painted the bumper.

That answers the warranty question. Thanks for the feedback.
