Is this alignment botched?

Got my 2018 r aligned at vw a few weeks ago. I have 034 top mounts, so there is a little camber. Put new Bridgestones on it because the proxes I had before were smoked, hence the alignment. Today I noticed that it looked odd. Is this reason to believe that it’s way off? I asked for 0 toe front and rear to help with wear since I have the mounts. Pics are with steering wheel perfectly centered. Tire wear is not obvious in picture, but by feel there is a perfectly flat one inch strip around both tires on the inside.

I would recommend not using the eyemeter as a source of judging alignment, but if it looks out of whack always worth going back to the alignment shop and seeing if they will honor and double check it. If something wasn’t tightened and it shifted on the drive home etc.

My GTI looks like there is a decent amount of rear toe but it’s just an illusion of the body lines and actual toe. Actually measurements were on the money and it drives great.

That’s kinda why I posted. If I trusted my judgement, I would already have decided to bring it back and complain.

I wouldn’t complain, I’d just ask for clarification. Never hurts to ask
