This really annoys me as it looks horrible.

Agreed. So can I get my chewing collection back then? I wondered where I had left it. Left hand is spearmint, right hand juicy fruit (rare)

"Quality is Job 1" hasn't been their slogan for many, many, many, many years. Never been a fan of either the man or the vehicles...

As it will have been dipped in a big bucket of electrophoretic paint, I can’t see a problem with it other that looking a bit half done.

Do you need you paint inside the engine bay? It's only those anal concourse nerds would think about detailing oily bits. It's not even clear coated.

You see the build quality when you take bits off. All of the arch liners on my A4 Audi refit well. The Alfa GT ones not but then the cars was a lot more expensive when new. I'm hoping the Maser will be in the former category...
