my front bumper seems a little loose on the drivers side - i don't think is normal is it? I think I can here it vibrating as I pass over reasonable road bumps... bummer.

Has anyone ever had theirs off? I'm looking to possible tighten it up but have no idea where to look?

anybody? (thanks!)

Cool

If it`s loose at the front check the frame bolt under the carbon canister in the engine bay and the one below the car (almost level with the fog lamp). If it`s loose at the side undo the inner wheel arch and check the bolts at the top of the bumper on the furthest back point. If u have probs finding the bolts gimme a shout as I`ve got pix somewhere but they`ll take a whilst 2 find
The only other alternative is to remove the sub-frame as the sub-frame to bumper skin bolts may be loose.

Exclamation

It's normally the two underneath just behind the towing eyes. They are on a shouldered bolt so the bumper mounts can eventually move on the bolts. Take the bolts out, get hold of a pair of large washers large enough to fit over the shoulders, and refit, taking care not to crank the bolts up too tight or they can split the plastic bumper lugs.
