just had a look at mine steve and both sides on mine have a slight gap, like your drivers side, the gap does look a bit much on the passenger side though..

if it was me i'd take it to the dealer, but only because I have a nasty habit of making a f**k up of anything like that, you should have seen the balls up I made when I tried to install an armrest in my old R32!! :embarassed:

I'll check mine later, but it looks like it could be a drainage function

The skirts are bonded on with double sided type adhesive, when I went to view mine I noticed 1 side wasn't sitting flush which the dealer fixed before I picked the car up. Its not perfect but much better

how "not perfect" is it... i know as soon as i go there, they will just say, "oh its normal, thats how it is" etc etc, so i need to know how others are to tell them its not normal.
