Mark 178 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Hi all... trying to adjust my rear bumper because it has sagged and left about a 2cm gap between the bumper and the car. I want to lift it up to fit snugly but can't figure out how to remove the bumper to adjust the mounting brackets. (I'm assuming that's what I need to do) The ACS valance is I think what is causing the headache, I need to remove that first but I can't figure out how it is attached to the bumper. My copy of the Haynes manual is as useless as tits on a bull merely stating "remove all retaining bolts, installation is reverse of removal"Â Can anyone help? Cheers, Mark.

Mark 178 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Cheers Nick, yeah I've googled my arse off.... but that procedure is for facelift cars only. No bolts to be found in those locations on my car. Well.... there might be, if I can figure out how to get the valance off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
