Hood off center?

Is this normal?

Mine was slightly off, too. But since it got dented and it's being replaced, I'm hoping they may take the time to align it better this time

Mine is straight, dead centre.

Did it take them long to do?

Had this issue on delivery, one day in the workshop, they had to fettle the wing panel as well.

I was told it was due to the panels settling after construction ( temp cycles)

Mine is off center. Wider gap on driver's side.

Same problem. Dealer realigned. I also had issues with tow hook cover warped. Barely touch it and it would pop off. The new one was painted to match fits better but doesn't have a retainer.
