Default Bumpy paintjob and triangle dents

Does anyone else have this at the bottom of their sideskirts?

Its a 2010 2.7TDI if that matters :\

A4 doesnt come with side skirts. You can buy the votex side skirts (OEM Audi body kit) from the dealer or get the stone guards (standard on S-Line) to cover that area. If you are talking about the area at the bottom of the car below the doors where the body meets the undercarriage, yes that area comes with bumpy paint.

I noticed that as well. The triangle dents are odd but the bumpy paint is there to prevent stone chips. The triangle dents are different on both sides of the car-(number of them and placement.)

the bumpy paint doesn't "prevent" rock chips, it merely hides them better than smooth paint. i don't understand the dents either
