It beggers belief that on todays robotic production lines they cannot get body panels to line up.

Well clearly it isn’t supposed to line up as if you look at the dark colour trim area on the right it’s significantly shallower than the dark colour on the left. So it’s a deliberate design decision.

Stop trying to constantly find fault

A design decision to make the two parts of the pointless mood board not line up

I think your clutching at straws now

OFC it should have lined up. why would LR design otherwise. Suggest you refer back to your dealer.
