Front bumper

[wiganer1969]

I bought this my car with the bumper popped out slightly on both sides where it joins the wing. I bought new aftermarket brackets because the old ones were shot, but I just cannot get the bumper to pop back in and stay there.  There is no signs of damage, but the bumper does sag down at the front of the car leaving a gap under the headlights, I notice that the black plastic posts that come off the headlights that the holes at the top of the bumper sit on are not there. Has anyone got any ideas on this?

The mountings tend to be a bit fragile. Our 60 plate has some of the bumper not as secure as I'd like.

You could try remoulding the posts with epoxy putty.

Yes I was thinking the posts might be where to start, then maybe a heat gun or something where it joins the bracket, failing all that....self tappers straight through the bumper into the clip!!!!
