Hi guys, have this car for 4 years and never noticed the difference in alignment between the central back reflector and the back lights...is this normal??

You mean this? If so, this is normal.

No...I mean on the side...if you see the reflector on the side it's not align with the lights!!

I'll try to post some photos, I don't know how to do it with the phone...


Thanks

My reflector is not flush with tail lights either, but the difference does not seem as large as the one in the photo.

Are these after-market lights, if so then you probably won't get a perfect fit.

The boot lid gap and the headlamps are both adjustable, if you've had any service where the rear bumper was removed both may have been adjusted.

Take it to the dealer and ask them to align them, or pull out your Torx set and give it a shot. Plenty of DIYs on rear light removal here. If the car was never in an accident back there you should be able to put things right in no time.

My center reflector is 1-2mm off from the tail lights when looking straight from the side. Nothing I noticed until you pointed it out. Yours looks to be more but it could just be the angle of the photo.

Guys the lights are original, the car is 09 PDK MK2 as I said in the thread title...it Looks a design flaw....

Same here. Here's a photo of mine:

Wow...big difference here. The car had a service last week, spark plugs and oil...that must be it...do they take the spoiler/ lid to make this service??

Thanks

Hi guys, just found out what happened, it's the lights, they where desaligned with the body panels, they were too much inside. 5 min. Unscrew the lights, reposition them and they are perfect now...CPO, pay and don't care!!!

I believe that with the diversification of models comes more sales, and with more sales come worst client treatment...and worst, they don't have time or care about customer satisfaction...

That's why I love old Porsches...they are treated special...

Thank you all

Good thread OP. Thanks for starting. Just checked mine and it was way out. Easy adjustment so now both sides are flush. Thanks.
