I annoys me every time I look at it, but the driving makes up for it. I may try again with Cheshire Oaks to see if anything else can be done, as others on here seem to have received a satisfactory outcome 🤔.
I know the feeling, once you notice it you can’t help but notice each time you drive it. But as you say the drive and sound more than makes up for it!

Seeing Porsche Leeds tomorrow for a second opinion to see if it can be rectified under warranty. Will let you know how it goes.

Just noticed that Chester are part of the Rybrook group and Wilmslow are part of Stratstone. Anyone out there have any history of warranty issues with either ??

When I was at Road and Race to repair my dented door, they said they covered the northwest for bodywork. Therefore it would be them again if you go to Wilmslow or Bolton

I think they cover Chester as well, so I may not be any better off. I am seriously thinking about taking it to Chartwell in Derby and paying for it myself, as the untidy lines are not helping my OCD.

Something came up and I had to reschedule for next tuesday. Btw, which is your local OPC? Might be good to get different opinions as some centres said yes immediately and adjusted the bonnet under warranty, whereas Sheffield said it couldn't be covered under warranty as the body gap measurements were all within tolerance levels!

Popped in to my OPC today and showed them my alignment issue - 'that doesn't look right was the reply'. Booking in for January ... asked for a 992 as loan car :D

Mine is currently with my OPC being looked at. I also noticed that the gap between the lights and bonnet wasn’t equal on both sides. I’ve had their loaner Macan for a few days and can confirm no bonnet movement at all even as the bonnet is warm from a decent journey. The gap between lights and bonnet is also much smaller on both sides.

I doubt we'll ever get a convincing explanation but it is peculiar, I wonder if, amongst all the other distruptions, they have started using different bonnet presses or some such thing...
