Can anyone tell me if the bumpers on my 97uk car should move a bit. I noticed this when polishing it the over day looked at all the fixings that i could see, only clips no bolts is this right?
or is this normal for the bulid quailty (like the framless windows!) cheers for any help

For months I thought my front shocks were on their way out as, every now and then, over a particular type of bump (?), the front of the car would squeek.

Only when srubbing at a particularly hardened bug, splattered on the front bumper, did I realise the root of my problem was the bumper itself moaning and groaning as it swayed back and forth on the front of my Scoob.

To cut a long story short: mine wobbles too (MY00).

My 97 is the same. I spent a little while on it and replaced / upgraded a few of the original fixings. much better now.
