I havent hit anything. prehaps the clips have broken?? if this is the case...where would I get new clips from?

Mine sagged before I removed it for mods and is worse now. CBF fixing it though as it will be removed again one day.Do a search as I know someone on here put up a 'How to' on fixing this issue as best as possible.

When I did my lights I removed bumper then when I put it back on the sag was still there...maybe just a design problem???

Stopped mine from sagging. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66843-front-bumper-sagging/#findComment-990271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 17d Gender: Male Posted 12/03/10 04:38 AM Share Posted 12/03/10 04:38 AM I fixed mine by removing the bar, and the the plastic clip assembly at the sides was removed, drilled to allow adjustment where the screws are and tightened slightly higher. Clipped it back on and problem was fixed. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66843-front-bumper-sagging/#findComment-990389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
