I have a new Renault genuine front panel.
I have offered it up to the car and something does not feel/look quite right. One side fits on like a glove (drivers) and the other is slight off (passenger side)
I have been suspecting the car to be slightly out of alignment, as I would have thought a new panel would be bang on.
Anyway decided to remove and fit the headlights with the panel off the car on a flat surface, this highlights the problem as you can see by the photos. One side fits in nice and tight (drivers) but the other there is a large gap (passenger). I have also tried another set of headlights but the problem is the same.
Good side (drivers)

Bad side (passenger)

There is not much I can do here as I am not prepared to extend the holes, basically with this wrong nothing will line up correctly.
Not good.
Could someone check how their lights sit up against the front panel. Is there a gap visible as large as this on the passenger side?
Cheers
