At the point where the bumper and gaurd meet on the side of the car, there is a gap due to it saggin... Ive replaced the 2 black bumper mounts/clips on the sides of the car. And have tried to attach the stone tray so that it pushed it back up... But no luck, the bumper been cased out a few times. Im starting to think the bumper is at fault???Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be more specific though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find it but,,,looking in the lower part of the grill, at the edges of the black plastic part under the number plate, just behind there are 2 bolts. You can drill a small plate about 50mm long and mount onto the bolts with the plate protruding onto the black plastic part. This will hold/lift the bumper back to original position.Sorry I've explained it a bit vague, but I just got home and it's pouring rain and dark.There are definately some pics on here of someone that's done it.

I got over it, but the gap does get mighty big over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its there for low speed accidents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
