Certainly another famous French car seems to have this issue.

It is UV damage.
Its only on the surface and as far as I know its caused by overzealous
polishing that removes the UV coating.

If it were a manufacturing fault they would probably cloud on the inside
too as there is a lot of UV from halogen lamps and even more from HID lamps.

There are various UV varnishes that can be applied to increase the UV
resistance once the misting has been polished off.
I use Vallero matt varnish on models to do this as its an water based
acrylic that works quite well.
