As I’m trying to figure out, how the engine cover is supposed to sit correctly, I was wondering, if anyone has a better understanding about this.

According to the parts catalogue, the cover has 2 different hinges: one for each side (P/N 914 512 139 10 and 914 512 140 10).

Does anyone know, what is the difference in the parts? Is it just mirrored or is there a height difference?

When trying to fit the engine cover, the left/front corner is about half an inch lower and I’m trying to figure out if someone has used the wrong part or maybe it’s just bent? I did try to bend it upwards and that did get the cover to be flush with the rest of the body, but then it moved a bit towards the rear of the car and something still doesn’t quite fit right.
