Default Classic rear inner wheel arch

I have just had my classic wagon back from the body shop after they had done some minor repairs to the rear end (the cars not mine). On inspection i have noticed a gap between the rear inner wheel arch and where it meets the bumper. Its about 2 inches all the way down from where the arch meets the bumper (if that makes sense). My first thought was an infill panel wasn't put back but the body shop are instant that none came off. The bumper looks correctly positioned so should their be a gap its just i haven't noticed before ? as i am just worried the spray and muck will find its way up into places i cannot clean and the dreaded rust sets in.

Views welcomed

I have tied to take a picture but its a bit awkward. What the image shows is the white blurry bit is the arch hopefuly you may be just able to see where the inner wheel arch ends (which the flash has highlighted and the gap I am refering to.

Accept its not a good picture but did try with two cameras and this was the best image
