Hood finishing

Hello all, new to the forum and shopping for a F56. Went to test drive 2 (A S and a convertible) and love the way they handle.

Noticed the finishing on the corners under the hood on the S (yellow) doesn’t look quite right (the gap at the pointy corner.) Just wondering if that’s regular finish on the Minis? The grey one is a JCW which seems a bit tighter.

Does your looks like the yellow S or the grey JCW?

PS. Paint gauge shown the paint thickness is consistent on the yellow Mini so it doesn’t seem like it has been repainted/ repaired.
