I just know that this happens with alot of people, mine would have been the same of I didn't do what I did. Maybe yours is diff cause it's fairly simple and if it was that easy it would be obvious lol

My car has the same issue, front bumper is out of line by about 1cm on both sides.

Is it just a case of pulling the bumper over the clip or do you need to replace the clips? Do you have any pics of the clips please?

Cheers...

The thread was by 'Tas'. If you search for his user name it should pop up. :)

You need to pull the bumper fixing over the clips on each side ( force required! lol) Also, the 2 main centre bumper torx screws keep them slackand pull the bumper towards you other wise it has a bow effect and makes each side stick out

Does anyone have any pics of the engine bay showing the clips (and torx screws) location? Cheers...

the 3 plastic clips are in the centre near the back of the bumper if i remember correctly

there are 3 plastic clips underneath the car, u need to remove these. The clips on the side of the bumper just gently pull the bumper off and you'll hear it clip off. There are 4 torx screws on each side of the bumper in the wheel arch, make sure you remove the very top one and because if you dont then the bumper will snap off lol

The three little clips are like plastic rivets push the centres through to remove and retrieve when the bumper is off
