    Ever since I bought the Saxo I have been annoyed by the front bumper being slightly dropped on the o/s corner. It must of had a low speed bump at some point as there is some dodgy paint on the o/s/f wing which I need to sort. Anyone got any advice on sorting it out?

    there are some plastic clips that sit into the strenghing part of the bumper. They are conected to the body work buy 10mm bolts i had to lift the bumper and tighten the bolt it is a bitch to get at with the arch linings on but if you get the car on ramps and feel around a bit you should find them.

    This is taken from the passenger side wheel arch with the arch liner off



    Right the bolt is attached the white (ish) clip



    this is the clip as it sits inside the bumper
