Default misaligned front bumper

Hey folks,

I just bought my S2k, and one thing I noticed is that the front driver's side bumper is slightly off - it's about a half inch too far from the headlight.

Is there a way to get under the car with a set of pliers, to "re-align" this bumper? If anybody has done this, or knows if it's possible, I would highly appreciate it!

Thank you

do you mean under the headlight? if so, you should just be able to push it back in. there is a clip it is suppose to be clipped to

Ah, thanks. Yeah, I think the clips are clipped in, but the things that hold the clip themselves are bent? Under the headlight, and the line that runs into the wheelwell, are wider than they should be.. hmm.

oh then just take a flathead of something and pinch them in to make them tighter and push the bumper in it. mine was a little too far gapped too. all i did was just pushed the clips in with the flathead and made them a little tighter. very simple. hope thats the prob with yours
