RS4 Bonnet

I recently had my bonnet replaced by a well respected bodyshop, it looks like a perfect fit except for above the headlights, were it seems to have a slightly larger gap than it used too.

Does this mean the bonnet has not been fitted properly or has the wrong bonnet been fitted and if so does that mean there is a different bonnet on an RS4 than an A4.

I believe I read somewhere on the forum once that someone mentioned that the RS4 bonnet was slightly longer than an A4 bonnet.

Advise would be appreciate before I approach the bodyshop.

Shahel.

P.S I already mentioned it to the bodyshop when I picked it up and they said I was being paranoid and thats how its supposed to look.

Having looked on ETKA I found the part number for an RS4 bonnet is the same as a facelift A4.

Bonnet for B5 is the same throughout the range, if it fits and lines up with the top of the wings, then the headlights are wrong, for there to be a bigger gap above the lights than previously, would need to sit up higher than the wing tops...
