Would really appreciate anyone who could post up a shot showing the front offside area of the engine bay, ideally on a Silver blobeye WRX

Long story short:

Hit a deer a couple of months back in my 03WRX and did quite a bit of damage. The car was taken to my local Subaru dealer (at my request) who have their own bodyshop and after several weeks they repaired the car and told me I could collect.

I went to collect it the day before Christmas Eve but had to reject the car due to poor paintwork - the colour match was good, but the paint had a different texture to it than the original paintwork, almost like a slight orange-peel effect. Jeez - you'd think a dealer with their own bodyshop would get it right!

The bodyshop guy was on holiday and so the dealer won't comment regarding whether they agree to redo the work until January 4th when he gets back, but I had a couple of other niggling doubts about some of the repairs under the bonnet, eg. the colour of the front internal panel (in front of the radiator), and the way there was silver overspray on the top of the inner wings.

So I really need to see pictures of a standard 03WRX engine bay so I can be 100% sure that the car is repaired to original condition in case this escalates into a serious dispute. I really need to flag up any other issues I have with their repairs when they call me on Jan 4th.
