Have a good look around it, as its always possible its has a knock at the front.
A photo of the panel gaps would get you more opinion. Mine look pretty tight.

I like this 1.4 turbo, it gets a move on when you need it to, it can be a bit steady if you don't hit it just right, shame they couldn't offer a 1.6 turbo though, that would have probably been better all round.
Always been curious down under. Various crap Pom models ( any manufacturer ) have come this way since the 1970s. They all seem to be totally orientated to city driving. Often we improved them by fitting a better dif. Or set fire to them. :robot:
I noticed when waxing, the panel gap isn't just large at the top, the whole panel actually sticks out more than the door panel, when buffing the wax off, the panel is high vs the door. It needs to go inward, and maybe that will close the gap up at the top??
As far as I can tell, it's not working, back to the drawing board!Your photos are visible if that's what you mean
I know how you feel:

One of the issues is that if the wing were closer to the car, the bonnet gap would be far too close, the bonnet would have to move over, which would then mean the far side wing would have to move out.
But apparently the garage thinks there isn't any wiggle room, and they just push the error from one place to another, and the only way to fix it would be large amounts of filler and a respray???
Also they said the panels are fixed with locating bolts, there isn't any adjustment in them.
We looked at 5 different i30's spanning 18+ months and they were all similar with varying degrees of error. The most acceptable was an i30 N-line. The two i30n-performnace models they had weren't affected if I recall correctly.
Bar the two N's I just can't believe the same assembly/manufacturing panel gap error could occur on the same side of the same model cars spanning 1.5+ years and no one's noticed? Regardless of what's caused it, it seems like this could be improved?
I'm waiting for someone to again try to defend UK Dealerships . :neutral: :whistler:
I seem to be having a discussion in a spin dryer. :head_butt:
You do not understand how precisely these cars are manufactured.

Sorry, what are trying to say? I'msure[assume] the chassis is accurate, they're robotically manufactured and I would imagine self check and either adjust within limits or report.... The panels and bonnet haven't been fitted well, different issue, and I imagine done by hand.

I'm just not happy with his guys evaluation here, it seems to favour them doing nothing about it.
I parked alongside a 2019 i30 this afternoon while my wife was in a garden centre and took a look at the i30 out of curiosity. The panel gaps around the bonnet on that car were not equal side to side but I was only aware of it because that was what I was checking for. I couldn't remember which side of the car your post referred to - so I can't swear this car was identical. In this instance, I don't think the average family motorist would ever notice. The trouble is once you spot a discrepancy, it knocks your eyes out each time you glance at your car.Interesting Alan. I'll make a point of checking some Korean built current models when I see them around. I usually spot this sort of stuff if it is obvious. Certainly didn't appear to be a problem on my little red rocket. :undecided:
I walked along the car park to see if I could spot another i30 to compare it with - unfortunately I didn't.
It caused me the look at my Niro though - but it seems OK.

Just wandered out with my micrometer. My panel gaps there are mostly about 3.2mm and max 3.6mm and I don't have the panel droop.

I could see them all both on my tablet and pc.As far as I can tell, it's not working, back to the drawing board!Your photos are visible if that's what you mean
News to me mate, I can only see the last two.
