Actually there's the slightest flair when hot but it's hardly noticeable and even if it was as long as it returned to an acceptable level when cold I'd be satisfied. I think

Agree those pics look fine to me. I’d be happy with that. My loaner Gen 3 GTS flared out on the passenger side when hot. Again fine when cold.

Totally. I’d say you’ve got one how it should be. Don’t let a body shop turn it into one that has a problem

Sensible position to take.

Well if I was nitpicking - top of the door trim on the drivers side

Agree bonnet is just fine but the door trim on drivers side doesn’t appear to be in line with the edge of the door!

You're right!! But this is what happens when you concentrate on one particular area. Seems like the top section of Black plastic could have been a touch wider across the door which would align more but frankly I'll live with it as can't imagine the tin of worms waiting for me if OPC gets involved

Wouldn’t bother me Mack the rest of the gaps are all good and that is hardly noticeable without looking at close up photos
