Good work, makes me cringe when its not black especially when its on a bright orange car!!!
All those wee details make up for an amazingly finished car. (Note to self)

How far are we talking?
Myself and others have found that it's not uncommon for one wheel to stit further in or out than the other. I'd just chalk it up to below average jigging when the car was built.

my sedan was offset to one side by about 10mm, fecked around with it to try and get it right, or pre-load against the preferred side, but it would just go back to where it was happy.....
