Linninig up gsi front bumper HELP
so after replacing the front panel an cross member in have been putting the car back together again. All was going well lights wings all lining up fine but not so the bumper I have about a finger size gap under the grill all the way across ( wasn't there when I took it apart) How can I get more adjustment ? also on the bottom of the bumper there are square raised bits with holes should these match up with the holes on the bottom of the front panel
. Hope this all makes sense cheers rich
You have got 2 bolts into the bumper bracket inside the inner wing on both sides?
Changing the pannel should not cause this but not the first time it's happened best put photos up if everything you can so can have a look
Failing that there is a prolem with the Pannel but the bumper bolts are on the leg not the Panel so you not changed that
Yes the holes in theory match up at the bottom in reality no one fits them back
That's the thing dave I replaced the front panel the bumper irons go straight in to the chassis legs fine holes line up fine it just seems that the whole thing is sitting to low but where the holes r in the bottom of the front panel there is a lip and my whole bumper is sitting behind that. now thinking it needs to be in front so the holes in the bottom line up and hopefully let the bumper up some more
It should be correct without the bottom bolts as i said not many use the bottom plastic clips infact found the first car ever that I had last month with them
Lets see pics and can go from there
mine does this aswell. and cannot get my head around it all i done was take it apart for respray and never went back together properly
Did you change anything grill bumper Panel?Originally Posted by Dansmithh94
all i changed was the bar behind the bumper so the car could be sprayed but one side wouldn't come off so its not like it was differnt one or anything
You changed the reinforcing bar ?
I do think mk1 and mk2 Are different so that's possible a problem
basically i took the front end apart and all was flush and perfect and the reinforcing bar never came off (well tried but one side dint want to give up) and all went back the same. unless i broke like a clip of something. and its a mk 2
