Front bumper not retained along line of wing

Post by blaze591 »

Advice gratefully received around an issue with the front bumper of my daughter's 2011 Polo. Following a minor prang some bodywork was done and at the time I was happy with it. However, noticed that that the bumper skin doesn't stay clipped into the bottom of the wing for any length of time. The bumper itself doesn't appear damaged or broken. Would appreciate any advice in terms of fixing this minor but irritating issue before I start to strip things down. I assume there are clips of some kind in the bottom of the wing which the bumper is retained by?

Thanks so much!

Little YouTube video that shows how to remove the bumper. It looks like you may be able to get view of the clips at the top edge of the bumper by just removing the headlamp assembly. Hopefully it will just be a matter of making sure everything is clipped in as it should be. I guess it is possible the clips were damaged in the "knock"

Your headlight also doesnt seem to be pushed all the way in.
