wonkey wheel arches
Has anyone noticed that there front plastic wheel arches are not quite lined up?? On my Cooper S you can run your finger along the right one smoothly but the left one is irregular in that part of it sticks out more. A stupid little thing I know and I guess would be a case of re-shaping the bodywork to fix it.

I've noticed that too. It's due to poor panel alinement between the bonnet (hood) and the wing. Mine's got a difference of 4 or 5 mm, but I can live with this slight imperfection on an otherwise great car!
