Question Difference in door gaps?

I was about to walk away from the car today when I noticed the drivers side door gap, it seemed larger then before. So I check out the passenger side and it looks smaller.

So I try measuring it with my key and sure enough, the gap between the drivers side door and passenger side is different.

What could have caused this? Is there something in those associated components that may have failed or deteriorated to lead to this? Or is it maybe normal to have a couple mm of difference and I just noticed it? Is there any way someone else could have done this?

did you un-bolt/move the front fenders when you put that S5 bumper on?

I just unbolted the three fender to bumper bolts in front but otherwise that was it. Oddly enough, the gap is on the other end of the car, near the door handle end. I dont know if im getting worked up over nothing but its a bit irritating.

Take it to a body shop and have them check for frame damage. That is, if it bugs you that much.

See thats the thing. The car hasnt been driven in 3 months so I dont even have an idea as to how this could happen. The only thing ive had issues regarding the body with is the hood not closing right cause i havent aligned it right but I dont think that can effect the door. I hate this
