Bumper/Fender Gap
 
This is my first post here, so hello to everyone. I picked up my 2010 Jazz (I live in Australia, so the car is assembled in Honda's Thailand factory.) in Helios Yellow just less than a week ago.

I noticed that the front bumper is not "perfectly" aligned with the fenders on both sides (See pictures below). There is a small gap on each side between the panels. If I lift the bumper with my hand I can make the gap slightly smaller (but only very slightly, and it's not loose by any means).

I'm wondering whether this is the average fitting quality of the Jazz and I'm being unreasonable and too pedantic, or should I mention it to the dealer to have it checked/realigned?

I have attached a few pictures showing the gap on the driver side (the other side is very similar).

(Sorry, I just realized that this is probably the wrong place for this post as it should be in the GE8 general forum. I'm not sure if I can move/delete my posts.)

Due to the bumper being plastic, it's never going to be perfect due to the flex.
That gap is hardly noticable. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the sanity check. Yeah. When I was looking at it this morning, I realized my insanity; It looked fine.

Anyway, If anyone is interested, I will post some pictures of my stock yellow Jazz VTi Limited Edition (Vibe option package + Limited Edition badge). I quite like the egg shaped Jazz, and don't really plan to mod it.

Yep, that's the stock wheel that came with the Limited Edition (Vibe package). Okay, I will take more pictures when the rain stops...
