NB Bumper

Postby BarryB » Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:16 pm

I have an NB and the bumper just below the driver's side headlight keeps popping out about 5 or 6 mm. It can be easilly pushed back into place but pops out as soon as the car is dríven. Before I remove the inner gaurd to look at the thing has anybody had a similar experience or give me an idea on what holds this panel in place :?:

Thanks

there is a screw that sits vertical in the front of the wheel well.

pull the inner guard back at the front and you should see where it goes

apart from that screw regie talks of, there's also a grey plastic clip that attaches the front bar to the chassis. it's located directly below the headlight. mine was busted until i had it replaced. it wriggled out a few cm's now and then when it was broken.
i can't brain today.. i have the dumb..

Thanks Sliq. Have had one go at it this morning and found a loose screw just behind the inner guard. Have tightened it up and all is well at this stage.
