Ph1 172, Front Bumper, Gaps.

[Nick_P]

On my 172 i have gaps in front of the headlights. I have seen a similar gap on other 172s however mine seem slightly larger.

Just wondering if theres a way to give it a nip and a tuck?

Ive been wondering this too..

Cars goin back to the bodyshop next week, so info would be great to pass on to the painters etc!

I might whip the bumper off and get some first class bodgery on the case

both of mine have had a fair gap below the lights i think its just normal

No gap here...

You could remove the front bumper and grill bit that goes below the headlights and try and refit it.

I think the fit on them was never that good tbh

take it off and spend time tweaking it to get it to line up properly.

i've only ever seen one with no gap, i've tried so many times to get mine flush, no success.

Any chance of a picture of what it looks like without a gap?

Loosen to bolt under the arch holding it to the wing, then just play with it till it looks right.
