    Default Bumper profile poor after refitting.

    Had this issue on a couple of vectras now, come to refit the front bumpers and the fit is poor on the edges near the headlight/ wings both sides.
    Pressuming new bumper guides are needed to fix this?

    You do have to give them a fair push to get them to click into the guides properly. If they won't (keep popping out) then yes, new bumper guides needed.

    The guides are pop rivetted on, you just drill the rivets out and replace the guides with new ones by pop rivetting back on. Got a set here for my car that I've had sitting here for ages and not got round to doing yet lol.

    Cheers, clips in fine near the wheel, just popping out near the headlights both sides...
    Looks like the bumpers too wide
    I can't live with it, I know I'm being fussy and its only a Vectra. But I like things right...
