265 Front bumper fitment on wing

Discussion in 'Exterior & Bodywork' started by Ben_r1, May 24, 2014.

  1. Just recently I've noticed my drivers side front bumper has come out of alignment to the wing, to be honest it may have always been like it and I've only just noticed.

    I've removed all the mounts and popped that side of the bumper out its clip to see if anything can be adjusted but it seems all I can do doesn't resolve the issue. It's only ever so slightly out but where it's been rubbing the paint under is a little rough and it sticks out like a sore thumb ( for me anyway , the mrs says I'm being stupid ).

    Anyone else having any similar issues? I made a point to look at a blue 250 at Ace cafe last Monday and noticed his bumper was a little out too!

  2. Mine is like yours. It is Renault and Alfa Romeo trait :tongueout:
     
  3. it is not a bug, it is a feature
     
  4. Does it make it even more limited? :wink:
     
  5. Your arch looks a diff shade of yellow, is it the light or repair?
     
  6. Bit of light and bit of plastic against metal blend id guess
     
  7. Dont think mine has that issue btw, ill look tomoro
     
  8. No, I've been there before with Renault as it's an ex demo and my first thought was damage repair. Made RUK pull the complete history of the car and all parts ordered against its VIN, only came back with a new alloy wheel.
     
  9. Now you say it, it does look a diff shade and almost a different lacquer, paint gauged it?
     
  10. Ps u need black handles :wink:
     
  11. It doesn't look so bad in person, I'll get another shot up. Black handles would look better but I'm trying to keep it OEM as it's a Trophy.

    get some spare handles sprayed black to swap when u sell if need be
     
  14. Mine is very slightly sticking out nothing noticeable must just be standard way they are fitted !
