VRS wheel arch gap

Impressed by phitis of he new VRS, having sat in my friends 1.5 SE, I know that it is a real upgrade in interior quality and the estate rear view looks good. £33k seems a lot. Black paint and black badging gives it a nice clean stealth look (before it rains). One thing I don't like is the large gap between the wheel arches  and tyres, even with 19 inch wheels. Perhaps the suspension needs to settle,  they can't all still have the transit blocks left in them.
