PaulV 0 Posted December 1, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted December 1, 2013 I dont have a picture but I agree its lower than it should be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted December 1, 2013 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 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Paul The mount I gave you was damaged, also its mounting bracket on the inner wing is easily distorted. What's the other side like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted December 2, 2013 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. Side view before After Conner view before Conner view after Top view before After Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulV 0 Posted December 2, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
