Bumper fell off... getting it back on?

[Waspy]

When I say fell off, I mean I stupidly got it caught on a curb when parking, and it basically ripped off when I reversed.

I saw the clips/mounts on the bumper and car and thought it would just clip back in, but it doesn't. When the bumper is in said mounts it is still not secure, I can just slide it back out. So I am assuming there are some screws or bolts that keep it in place, where are they? I cant see anywhere that bolts have ever been, just the mounts.

It's a big bumper

Thanks guys.

Some more research suggested that it is only the clips that hold it on, no screws or anything. So I beefed the clips up a little with insulation tape and now, surprisingly, it is holding pretty tight. The bumper still doesn't sit quite right, but it never has, nor has the rear bumber. As long as it stays put I am happy.

No screws or bolts just a clip fit with some clip spreaders.


You might be better taking the iron work off the car and refitting it properly as you really have to put some effort in to get the clips to spread properly (Like stand on the irons!).

Yep sounds like you havn`t got any clip speaders that fit on the back of the bumper

Dont suppose you guys know any links with pics etc? Struggling a bit with what you mean. I will take some pics soon to show how the bumper sits atm. It clearly doesn't sit correctly, but it physically can't sit any other way as it is in the brackets, and obviously the brackets are in a fixed location...

None of the bumpers of plastics on my big bumper sit right. There is also no way to buy the parts new and start fresh.
