Audi a1 1.6tdi bonnet and front wing/fender lines look out of place. Normal or what???

[Audrius321]

Hello dear fellas, my gf mom has bought her Audi a1 1.6tdi, year 2016. So my gf has got the car home and I've looked at it first time, and after quick look straight away I've noticed poor quality on the front, I mean body lines between the bonnet and front wings and headlights. To me it looks terrible, immediately thought was the car in any damage and parts were replaced etc, but seems like it's not,. But there are big gap between bonnet and front wing where they meet. I can put my fingers under and have a grab a little bit. I imagined Audi quality there's no way it can be like that normal??? It's like bonnet goes over front wings, and wings looks to me like they are push in a little so it's not perfectly flush, it's not good to me whatsoever. Someone tell me is it normal quality or something has been altered on this car previously???
Many thanks if you have had an a1 yourselves and can tell me what you think.

Difficult to tell from photos but the panel gaps with the bonnet could very well be normal. It’s a ‘feature’ of the clamshell bonnet. My GFs car is always getting leaves stuck between the bonnet and front wing panels. The key question is whether each panel gap is consistent across its length (apart from front of bonnet with headlights as the curved eyebrow overlap is normal).

Thanks very much, calmed me down somewhat now

Yeah I totally agree, maybe he could check some other A1 photos on Google images to see if they look the same. I'm sure this is normal but I'm no A1 expert.
