How are the gaps on your R56?

I just recently got Fenimore back from the body shop after I failed to execute a pass on someone who came to an abrupt stop in front of me. The bonnet, among other things, was replaced.

Now I'm not completely satisfied with the panel gaps between the bonnet and the rest of the car. But I didn't actually look that carefully before I got in the wreck, so I cannot say for sure what they used to be.

Can anybody check the gaps around the hood (bonnet) on their R56 for me? Are they larger than the other panel gaps on the car, like the door gaps?

Thanks!

The hood to the scuttle panel gap appears the same as the door gaps. The hood to the front bumper gaps is slightly larger...

Thanks.

BTW, love the Bugeyes. My wife wants to get one some day, when we have that 20-car garage and a million bucks in the bank...
