Front Bar Misaligned

[psychoacid]

Normal looking front bar (driver side):

Passenger side (big gap??):

Horizontal closed up view:

I think there is missing screw as well (red circle). Cant see as I dunno how to take out the headlight to check.

Can someone tell me what happening to the front bar? Is the missing screw (4th pic) caused this??

I dunno how to take out the headlight to check on the screw as well. Can someone enlighten me?

cheers

should have a plastic plug that is in the guard that the bumper screws to. I'd guess that either the plug is rooted or the screww has come loose / fallen out. pull the plastic splash guard out from the inside of the guard in the wheel arch. probably easier with the wheel off. stick your head in there and you should be able to see whats going on.

There's a clip where you have circled in the last picture, looks like it might have come out of that clip and dropped down. You don't need to take out the headlight, only the middle grill, then from memory unclip the three button screws underneath that and then two screws on each side at the very edge of the wheel arch. That will allow you to take off the front bar and see what's wrong

i have changed the plastic plug to brand new ones. I already screwed in tight but somehow it doesnt fixed the gap thingy. i noticed there should be a screw just below the headlight but i dunn how to take out the headlight to check it. not sure but i could feel the bar a bit loose below the headlight.

oh...i saw the 3 black philip screw clip thingy. i tried screw it out but it wont come out. i think im doing it wrong so i decided not to continue, afraid might break it.

any trick to get the 3 clips out?

thanks

the black plastic screw clips are twist and pull style. undo so its loose, dwar it back (wont come completly out) and remove plug and screw at teh same time. this will remove the wheel arch.
