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

Re: NB Bumper
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

Re: NB Bumper
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..
Re: NB Bumper
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.
