Hi all.
On my hdi, between the front grill and the top of the bumper there is a slight gap.
I was wondering if there's anything that's causing this or is it time for a new bumper?
Cheers.

Undone the bolts that hold the bumper on and then get someone to hold the bumper up and do the bumper bolts back up

You might find that it'll be still sag a little in the middle even after you've done that though - seems to be a common-ish thing.

There are white adjusters at each end of the bumper that can be turned to allow the bumper to sit further forwards/backwards and upwards/downwards.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

Cable ties will help solve this.

Haha liking the cable tie one!
Pretty sure all the fixing points underneath are in tact from what I can remember but will have a look over the weekend.

I used 30 cable ties to fix my bumper. The mounts and grille had come away. Yeh its always a bit saggy but forcing it up and doing the bolts up will make a big difference!
