Default Fit and finish issue!

so I picked up my S5 last week and noticed over the weekend what I would call a fit and finish issue. Initially I thought that it was an issue with my car but the other day I was at the dealership and it turns out all of them have this. Can people confirm if you have this fit and finish issue in your car?

Notice the gap between the crome and black part!

Mine is very slight. I would never have noticed it.

You guys are making me feel better about myself. I used to think I was the most **** person when it came to my car. Now I know I am nowhere close.

With that said, yes I see the gap and I can understand the frustration that can cause.

haha, well I'm a quality assurance guy. Software not hardware but still I care about the details and that is one of the reasons why I went with Audi. For the most part they are very detailed oriented and I'm surprised to see such a gap. Minor issue but I will report it as I have a hard time believing that this was missed during production. I know they pay a close attention to how things fit together. I'd like to see if it's the same for the non carbon fibre trims.

You don't get anything you haven't asked for. You're right to complain...it looks pretty wide compared to mine. I'd be worried it gets worse over time.
