Slight issue I have is that the front bumper is slightly lower on one side than the other. The car has had a very minor bump on one side and wing has been repaired. Finding it hard to find a way to realign the bumper. Does it have to come off?
Also it has a scuff/graze - what would be best way to get rid of that. S[raying isn't really an option because they bumpers aren't completely smooth from factory?

Maybe removing it and checking the mounting points for damage could reveal the cause. My old mk2 had the same problem on the rear bumper, I left it alone as it was secure, just not straight and flush with he rest of the body.
As for repairing a scuffed bumper, I assume it's the black unpainted plastic that's damaged? Not sure if using some very find sandpaper and back-to-black polish after would clean it up?

Try re posting in the Mk2 section :cool:

I had a similar issue so sourced a number of stainless steel washers that gave good clearance on the bumper bolts, removed bumper and used silicone to retain washers whilst bolting back up - two washers re-aligned it for me.
