Got about 8mm gap on both nearside and offside. Had the bumper off but can't seem to sort out this problem without bending the supporting metal. Agree looks cack!

I did have it sorted out by my subaru dealer for £135.00 !!!
They just put 4 bolts underneath the car, but to cover their backs they said "it wont stay up for long" They were right 3 months later and its down again. Someone on here must of found a way of doing it because i would say 80% of Classics have this problem.

I've recently replaced my front bumper, and it sits perfectly. I think it may just be a case of a loose bolt here and there. If it sits properly when you support it then that may well be the case.
There are 4 17mm bolts that hold the bumper hanger on under the bonnet. 2 infront of the battery and 2 by the abs unit. Give them a tighten. Also tighten up the 2 bolts that should be underneath wher the foglights are. when I first put the skin back on I missed theses ones off and it did look like it was hanging a bit too low.
