If you post a pic showing the other side of the bodywork sample I should be able tell you exactly what materials it is made from
Dimples are not for aero reason but from the Nomex honeycomb core, printing through the very thin outer carbon skin of the carbon sandwich panel construction, outer skin will be 1 ply of carbon and only about 0.15mm thick
Weight of the paint alone could be as high as 25% of the total weight of the bodywork, especially as Alpine are using metallic paint which is heavier than a flat colour

it is exactly as you say.. authenticity sticker in back prevents a good pic but the side view confirms your "guess" (I know it's not a guess)...
