Gap Between Headlamp And Bumper

[matticus]

Hi All,

I have noticed that there is a large (1cm) gap between my bumper and headlamp on the passenger side. This has been developed over time and has not always been like this. I remember that about 6 months ago it was not there.

I have searched the site but cannot find anything.

I am struggling to figure out why this has happened and am hoping someone on the forums has had this before and knows how to fix it.

Attached is a picture of the front. Does anyone have any ideas?

Checked the bolts that hold it on...is it loose at all

The bumper seems pretty solid on there. Ill take a look at the bolts tonight.

Is there any vertical adjustment in the bumper?

[ARTZ]

If you can lift it into place with your hand chances are its just loose bolts..

Thanks ARTZ. Are you talking about the reinforcement bar bolts? is there some vertical adjustment in the reinforcement bar?

Yes there is a bit of adjustment in the reo

Thanks guys,

Pulled off the bumper tonight and fixed it all up!

Was surprised at the amount of play in the reo.

Your lucky..mine has a gap too, obviously whoever stitched the new front end on didn't get it quite straight..its more to do with my headlight being crooked though and try as I might I can get it even.
