   Hi guys,
   
   i am not sure this is the right section, but here goes.
   
   My front bumper has dropped on the passengers side, i was just wondering how the hell i get it to sit up again!
   
   the bumper is pretty screwed to be honest, and could do with a new one, but i havent got the cash to buy one and then get it sprayed, as gettin one in colour is going to be hard (mango!)
   
   i will be takin gthe bumper off to re spray the black bits black again, as i think the person who had it b4 me had hand painted it with house hold paints!!
   
   YOU CAN SEE THE BRUSH STROKES!

   There are plastic brackets on the slam panel which position the bumper.
   2 screws at the bottom of the bumper which can push it up as well
   and brackets in the wing as well.
   
   Check all these for any play, is the slam panel bent at all?
   
   The sagging is quite a common issue tbh and you might have to improvise with cable ties or something to get them sitting right again.
