The rear is quite a way out, as the rubber lip isn't actually overlaying the raised bodywork. You could compare the emerging distance of the nocepiece with other cars, perhaps?
Hi Jon,
This is the best I've got for now I'm afraid. Currently banned from the garage while the new hip I had installed two days ago sorts itself out. The foward vertical edge of the bonnet is hard up on, but not overlapping, the rubber of the rad surround, but I'm still thinking (hoping) this is a misalignment issue rather than "someone's made the bloody bonnet to short".
I suppose I am naively hoping someone out there may have had an identical problem and will come up with a pat answer for me, although I have a feeling that the same problem on two sevens may have two entirely different solutions. I am used to series land rovers, which you can hit with a hammer to rectify most things. I remain in awe of this jewel like newcomer!
