Pesky bumper imperfection

Post by edger0587 »

I believe who ever owned my mx3 before me had some sort of accident or something because around the headlights the bumper does not wrap around too well. It sits kind of low and where it meets the fender, it sticks out. I wonder if any of you know how to correct this. I will post pictures soon. It's not too important, but it bothers me a lot everytime i look at it

There are metal brackets the hold the bumper on that your can bend or adjust. I put a piece of plastic bread board under part of mine to true it up. lol

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

did you have to remove the headlights to reach said metal brackets?

Yes a couple are behind the headlites. No big deal to remove those. You can reach a couple behind the turn signal lights, one screw and they're out and another is under the bumper behind the plastic fender liner.
