This car has been on eBay for the past year and located at Moto-Exotica in Saint Louis, Missouri. The car looks nice except the nose line keeps bugging me. The nose appears to dip down toward the bumper in the center, just below the Ferrari emblem. Whereas when I compare it to other 308 photos, the nose line is perfectly horizontal to the bumper.

Looks kind of funky alright. Here's a picture of my euro for comparison If there's one thing I wish we could get remedied with this site, it's the ability to post a damn photo correctly via iPhone. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Of course it seems to be a US spec bumper sticking way out. If that is your only concern, you can squish it in like a Euro after you buy it. You'll never notice it on a galloping horse riding backwards
Could have been in a front end collision? The driver's side headlight cover looks misaligned as well. Regards
Or could be something as simple as someone sitting on the nose for a quick picture and putting that arc in the nose. If that's your biggest concern, pull the trigger and get that thing purchased!
Of course, after you've had a 3rd Party PPI, which should hopefully address your concerns. Great color!
That section of the nose is easily "oil canned" by chicks trying to sit there. But the word for the metal misalignment, is "Bent".....
Gents, I believe it just might be called, 'Close Focus, Wide Angle.' Ask for another photo from say 20 feet with a 'normal' lens setting. If the 'bend' disappears, there's your answer. There isn't one. It is just lens optics. If it is still there, you got a point to deal with.
Or you could do what this guy did to compensate for the unevenness or gap on the ends. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Let me tell you unequivocally that is NOT Rosso Dino. My car originally was Rosso Dino; it's Eames chair orange. That looks more metallic, like maybe Rosso Rubino, or possibly a deeper shade of red like Rosso Corsa 300/12, both later colors.
