Bumper gap fix
So my car has pretty ugly bumper gaps. I have replaced the bumper holder pieces. (parts connected to the headlights) and it didn't help. You can see a gap in the bumper to fender line. And also under the headlights. It's really annoying. Now I recently bought these universal clips off eBay and was wondering if anyone else has tried them or something similar and if they helped before I start drilling holes in the car. Thanks in advanced.

Maybe you didn't insert the bumper into the clips when you installed the bumper. The tabs on the ends get broken easily, and there is a TSB for metal clips that you can get from the dealership:

Yes. I’d take a small bumper gap over that eBay shit hanging off my bumper any day!

There was a group buy way back in 2014 for a kit for those pop tabs. I was in the initial thread. I can't remember the company anymore, but the point is there's a kit for those somewhere here. I don't even remember what they're called enough to begin to search though

Has it always had that gap under the headlight or is that just as of the last time you put your bumper on?
I took my bumper off for a test fit and when I put it back on I had an ugly bumper gap under one of my headlights. Week later I took my bumper off again to mount my splitter and when I put the bumper back on it the fitment was perfect again. That's even with a bumper clip on each side that looks like its cracked. (will say though i'm worried I won't be as lucky next time I have to remove the bumper for a headlight install) |
