Bumper

[TheNewt10]

There is a gap between my bumper and grille . I don't know whether my bumper is bent or I need to take it off and put it back on.. Help?

Slap a picture on here so we can see what's up.

It can be adjusted... as can the grille.

Has it ever been in a wreck?that might cause a problem.

Sounds like your bumper cover retaining screws might be broke in the center., Do the headlights and grille line up with each other? I can't tell from the photos.

post a picture of the whole bumper, If you have a 92-93 bumper on a 90-91 then that will make a gap.
Read the rules, it will show you how to post pictures.

READ RULES B4 POSTING! KTHX

But check the main support nuts to see if they are tight, they are in the engine bay behing the headlights. One on each side and they are 12mm nuts

and when you post pics use the little "Insert Image" button

Thanks I figured it out

post pix of the core support. It looks like that bumper is fucked.

u can use some bumper clips to properly hold it in place and i that the right grille for it because if its the wrong grill it could make the gap even worst even though ur bumper looks like its in crtical condition

[TheNewt10]

It's the original grille on it. I never changed it.. Unless the previous owners but judging on the condition I got it in. They didn't care for the car

Something is just bent funny,I can't really tell why this happened. The lights and grilled look fine. I would take the bumper off and inspect.

Sorry for bringing up this thread back . But I finally going for fixing my whole bumper and getting it painted. I tried figuring out the gap and this is what I see in between.
Its a crack. Is this the bumper support I looked up picture but when u take off the bumper there is nothing still on.

That might be the actual bumper. What most people call the bumper is actually just a plastic face that goes over it for cosmetic reasons. It has no impact resistance as far as crash saftey is concerned. When you remove yoru bumper the front face comes with it so most assume they are the same piece, in fact the plastic face is attached to the actual bumper and the two pieces can be seperated. Our bumper is a fiberglass reinforced plastic, light but still pretty tough. If it is crakced in the middle it will sag, since the whole thing is supported at either ends, but not in the center. It should be replaced if not to fix the issue you have, then to at least make your bumper safe. A bumper already cracked can not due its job at absorbing and distributing impact loads properly.
