Advice Bonnet Aligment

I noticed on my D3 the line that runs under the bonnet from front to back tapers slightly i.e it seems alittle wider at the front then tapers near where it's hinged.

Is this normal, does anyone elses do this?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure your bonnet is shut properly? mine needs a good slam to get the left hand catch to engage, and I never notice it until I hit 75mph on the motorway and bonnet starts flapping in the wind Shocked

My car is not here at the moment so I cannot visually check for you, but I think it should be a parrallel shut line.

Of course they will - you bought a Disco3! 8)
Even Mrs. 10 says I'm crazy for buying one and she's always right Rolling Eyes or so she tells me (repetitively)
