Hi

I have an MY21 GTS and the bonnet has always annoyed me, it just doesn't seem to align with the other panels well.

Should you be able to see daylight between the bonnet and the headlight, or should the bonnet rest on the rubber seal around the headlight?

Should the top of the bonnet near the A-post run in line with the trim on the top of the door?

Should the funny little panel behind the front wheel sit flush with the edge of the bonnet, or slightly inside it?

Not right. There is no gap between my headlight and bonnet - couldn't even get a bit of paper between them.

Couple of pictures attached.

There is the full dealer workshop manual available online but I'd ask the dealer to adjust the bonnet

The panels on my current Macan don't fit as good as on my previous one. It's very noticeable where the bonnet meets the panels behind the front wheels. There's no gap around the lights though; any gap there doesn't sound right.
Current - Macan III GTS
Previous - Macan II GTS, Macan I GTS
