Thanks guys.
The following is the email that I have sent to the service manager at the dealership and have cc'd to LR customer relations:
It was a pleasure meeting you last week, and thank you for your time.
I have dropped my car yesterday at service.
Following are the things that I'd love to be looked at, and please let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
1. Passenger side fender or front bumper not fitted correctly, as currently, on the passenger side, its not sitting flush with the headlight housing (Please see the driver' side which is how it should be. Before any work is done, I'd want to know the diagnostics on this please, thanks. I'll send photos of this as well shortly.
2. Radio controls Knobs (specially the one on the right) is rough, a bit tight, and does not click smoothly, to an extent where you often cannot stop on clicks and stop past or in between the clicks.
3. While driving straight, the steering wheel does not sit straight and is turned to the right a bit. I have tested this on multiple, leveled roads and freeways. Aside from steering please check that all the alignment etc is within specifications (and I would love a hard copy of the alignment diagnostics/results, thanks.).
4. Front suspension or steering knock/loose feeling. This happens intermittently when driving very slowly and straight, on small but sharp, uneven surfaces, like pulling into your driveway from the street (where the pavement meets the sidewalk' raised edge). This was a well known and recorded issue on LR3 with multiple TSBs. I had thought this issue was resolved by now with LR4's revised steering and suspension components. But much to my surprise, I have noticed this problem in my LR4 as well. I have been able to record a couple of videos of this where you can hear the noise, which I will send to you in a separate email shortly. Also, upon research I have found a TSB on this:

5. Front power adapter cover is lose.
6. Rear wheel arches body cladding / trim pieces do not line up. Before any work is done, I'd like to know the diagnostics on this please, thanks.
7. Climate controls' passenger side temperature knob is lose.
8. When put in reverse gear, the radio changes the band from FM to AM. This has happened only twice so far, so maybe a hick-up.
9. Surround cameras do not work sometimes and show blue screens with a cross marks. This is intermittent and has happened only a couple of times so far.
10. Ride feels a bit harsh with wheel judder and and not as smooth sometimes when driving at moderate speeds and going over minor uneven roads. When I test drove another LR4 last week with you, its ride felt much better and the car had less miles (approximately 80 miles) than my car (around 650 miles) if break-in period is to be considered as the reason. Could you please check all the suspension components, struts, shocks absorbers etc.
11. Steering wheel feels a bit with shimmy or slight vibration and normal highway speeds like around 55 to 60 mph or so.
12. When parked on a level ground, the car feels slightly dipped toward front driver side. I have checked the tires' air pressure with an expensive accurate tire gauge and they are inflated up to the vehicle' specs note on the driver' side front door.
13. Slight whistling wind noise from the front driver's side when driving at speeds from 15 to 25 or 30 mph.
14. Front leather facia' stitching is uneven near the passenger side. Before any work is done on this, could I please know the diagnostics, thanks.
15. Instrument panel' LCD screen shown some unwanted pixels around sometimes when car is turned off or on. This is intermittent.
16. Overall wind or ambience noise inside the cabin, could you please check that all the door seals, etc are up to specs, thanks.
Thanks,
