Front oem bumper install... sth is wrong
There is a gap on my left side of the bumper. The space where the bumber is connected with the fender - and I just hate it!!! Every time I look at my car I just see this space
I wonder if this is just a poor labour and can it be fixed.
Thanks
Sorry for bad pix - but I used my phone camera.

yea, its actually easy to do though, the first time i had mine off it took me like 15 minutes and i just took it off 2 days ago and it took me like 5 minutes.
all you need is a 10mm socket. take out the front row of 10mm bolts under the bumper, i forget how many there are, 8-10 maybe? then turn the front wheel all the way one direction and pull away the innner fender liner and you will see 3 more 10mm bolts, take them out, turn wheel the other way and take out the 3 bolts on that side. then pop the hood and take out the 6 plastic clips along the top of the bumper. then the bumper just slides right off. thers a few DIY's with pictures floating around that might help you out a little more.

well if the bracket wasnt replace theres a good chance its bent. has it been there since the new bumper was put on? if so take it back to the place that did the work, they should have some type of warranty on their work.
