I noticed whilst at my OPC this week that a new GTS in the showroom had some poor alignment between the front bumper and front wing, i.e there was a good 5mm depth change rather than being flush. The usual areas of contention whilst not perfect would have been acceptable but not this front wing area.

Anyone else had this on their new Macan. Their own demo GTS was perfect but they didn’t seem too bothered when I pointed this out on the showroom car.

I’ve posted on another thread. Only had ours 5 days but noticed on second day that bonnet alignment is out. Our car has only been driven home from dealers and one other 10 mile journey. Has 40 miles on clock.
So in our case it’s nothing to do with heat etc as car hasn’t moved. Doesn’t look as bad in photos but my ocd has kicked in and I can’t unsee it now.

I'm avoiding reading this thread as know it will make me re-look at my Macan and inevitably see uneven gaps that I then can't unsee :roll:

Any further development on this? I'm still waiting for a Porsche HQ/Factory response 🤔

I’ve not had a chance to go in with it yet tbh. Really busy and only drove it tonight for first time tbh taking my mum to hospital. (Passed Porsche dealer across the road from Ross Hall hospital).
Now done a grand total of 114 ( 11 on speedo when we got it) so 104 in about 2 weeks. :lol:
Expensive statue in drive but I kind of knew that anyway when buying it. They look good though.

Had to rinse the pollen off the Macan 3 times now as totally covered in light powder. Joys of country living surrounded by trees. The MB is filthy too.
