Here is how it looks:

It isn't that noticeable. I only noticed the clips because I had a scratch repainted on my bumper.

The last owner has scraped the bottom quite badly which could've contributed to it.

Toyota refuses to do anything and my new car warranty is almost over.

So you guys actually can't see any clips at all no matter the angle?
Ratez, I'm think-en you need to get a grip on that OCD of yours .......

Haha I'm out of it! I am okay now. I'm usually obsessive over my car for like the first month.

Was the same when I got my last car as well.

I am just going to leave it. No one is ever going to tell there is a 0.5mm bigger gap except me. I actually didn't even know until I was scrutinizing how well the panel beater repaired the scratch on my bumper.

The gap was already there before I brought it to be fixed so at least it is a consolation it isn't the panel beater that fitted it wrongly. Saw the gap in an older picture I took of the scratch on the bumper.

Now I am just pissed at the Toyota person that asked me to go a second time because they ordered the wrong part for my window pillar fix.

If that's the case, it should be covered by the warranty right due to factory defect.
