Gap under headlights?

[CT135]

Last night when I parked the car I noticed that there is a gap underneath the headlights between the lights and the bumper. I know there is spacing between the lights and the bumper, but should there be a rubber strip or something there between the lights and the bumper - as it is now you can see through the gap and see the underlying bodywork. You can kind of see it in the photo below. I never noticed this when i was detailing the car previously. Is something missing, or am I just going mad???

i noticed the same thing when i first got my car, i assume its normal??

Here's ours



There is a gap but there doesn't seem to be any "rubber"seal as such.

Mine is like that.
I noticed on this model there is a larger panel gap than most other brands or cars. e.g. where the bonnet meets the front bar, kidney grill area.
To me it looks too large of a gap, it makes it seem like I did not fully closed the bonnet properly.
Is it me or is this normal?

i was just thinking that when comparing the 2 pics - the gap between my bonnet and the grill area looks bigger than Alpine's photo, which then translates into a bigger gap under the light? maybe my front bumper assembly is loose or has shifted?
