Bumper Alignment

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

My car has had a new front bumper recently fitted following my recent bump.

However when I went to the bodyshop on Saturday the replacement seems to have been fitted too low.

See what you think....

 

Could anyone help me out with a comparative picture of a correctly positioned item so I can show them?

 

Thanks,

Paul

The gap between the body and the bumper does look a little larger than usual . However I can't see how it can change ? The bumper slides into its guides and is not adjustable .

The mount I gave you was damaged, also its mounting bracket on the inner wing is easily distorted. What's the other side like?

I had this problem on mine, when I bought it, there is no real adjustment on lifting the bumper. But it is possible to get a better fit, but will take some time.

 

Here is how my turned out.

Thanks for all your help and for the photo Sanky! I have forwarded to the bodyshop.

 

Hi Roger - I got another good bracket from Tom. The gap is consistent all round the bumper.

 

Cheers,

Paul

"Thanks for all your help and for the photo Sanky!" ...

:cheers: this Forum's just superbly helpful with such excellent inputs like this, particularly on these otherwise ticklish & testing aspects == Ta x2, as I've got the very same... "
Happy Days
