I presume this is a common issue, but is everyone else’s plastic pieces distorted under the bonnet so it doesn’t sit flush against the wings? Anyone claimed successfully under warranty?

I have a feeling that wings means something different in my area than yours. Can you zoom out a bit more to see what section of the car you are referring to?

Mine (2023 GTS) wasn't that bad but had the same uneven fit against the fender/wing. Pretty cheap plastic in general under the hood.

Can't answer the warranty question. Never thought is was bad enough to raise a stink considering it's out of sight.

Thanks. Interesting that at least one person has got it replaced under warranty. It doesn’t particularly bother me, but it certainly bothered my detailer! I also have the door seals going green, so might try and get both sorted.

I have the same problem and about the same level of distortion.
