Anyone else got this?

I noticed this gap where two panels meet on both sides of the headlights. I was wondering if it’s meant to be like that or is it as a result of some previous damage. I’d be very grateful to anyone who would check theirs.
Cheers!

Yeah I’ve noticed that actually and also something similar in the rear quarter panel where it meets the headlights on the rear bumper on both sides. I’m really picky but I try not to think too much about it. It’s just one of those things I guess

Oh well, as long as it’s normal and not as a result of damage then I won’t worry about it. It is a bit odd though for such a premium and expensive car. My wife’s Kia has no such panel gaps!

Yeah it really can get on my nerves sometimes, even the door trims from the front and rear don’t align properly but it could be because I have the LWB. Either way though depreciation made sure that I got it for a great price and it is way out of the league of many other cars for the price mark it was on sale for!

Yours seems slightly different to mine. You seem to have an inner ledge that my car doesn’t have, though you still have a gap.

From what I was told once by my body guy on my previous F02 I had a gap from rear bumper to rear fender that there will always be gaps when u merge plastic to metal front and rear bumpers to fenders and such because over time clips tent to get loose and if it's ever taken off and put back on they will loosen as well and not to mention bumps from the roads things tend to shift sometimes

Your gap is larger than the norm, my car is being serviced today and tomorrow. I will take few pictures for you to compare.
