although they do look awful in the pictures its not nearly as noticable to the naked eye. I dont know if i can be bothered takin it back as nearly every new focus ive seen is suffering this problem Its not just a problem with foci either I work for jaguar and they too have this problem (as im sure other manafacturers do). The problem is in order to produce cars for less money manafacturers are sourcing more and more parts from second parties ie the car is painted in the ford plant but the bumpers are bought in weird I know but thats the way it is
