New Owner - Panels

[Si Cads]

Hi All
Recently picked up F Type V6 S MY2016, absolutely stunning car. Had all the normal German cars BM, Mercs, Porsche's etc
This is by far the best car I have ever driven / owned. Has anyone had / noticed slight gap in some of the panels?
Specifically where the bonnet meets the front wheel arches ? Probably about 1cm.
Any suggestions on how to rectify or is this the norm ?
I think when buying i was so excited I missed it..

thank you

1 cm seems pretty good! Panel gaps are an issue on these cars but can be adjusted. A good body shop may be able to help, or a dealer, if you have plenty of cash! There are threads about fixing this on the US forum, not sure if there are any on here.

Thanks scm

Found some info posted from a TOPIx link but not the sort of thing i would try.
I will enquire at a body shop, looks like adjustments required particularly to the Bonnet, lots of adjustment bolts in there.

Agree with SCM, panel gaps seem to vary, I had my rear bumper adjusted under warranty, however I know the Jaguar garage took it to a specialist body shop for them to do. Good luck....

I think the main issue is the bonnet - largest single pressing in the car industry, apparently, and has to line up with a lot of angles. Not the sort of thing I'd try, either!

And anyway, you can't see the gaps when you're driving it!

That is exactly it, the hood just wants raising a little at the front, much appreciated !!
