Noticed today that the front bumper isn't square to the rest of the car.
The passenger side is approx 30mm further back that the drivers side, this only came to my attention as I was replacing the Grille - one side fitted easy the other side not so easy. Looking at the wheel arch the drivers side all lines up, on the passenger side the top edge of the bumper corner is visible in the arch for approx 30mm but it is not 'sticking out' sideways so clearly the bumper on the passenger side has been pushed back.
There is no paint damage or obvious mark / location where it was pushed from or even what with.
Before I drop the thing off are there any members here who know what it will take to fix - new crush can, new bumper corner, new bumper? I haven't been able to find an image of the area behind the bumper to work out what is most likely to be needed, I don't want to take it off just to find out then put it back without fixing. I had a poke around underneath but can see nothing 'obvious'.
