Is it possible to close up the gap between the front bumper and the bonnet
on the pre face lift R75

easy way without resorting to piles of washers, is:

Remove all the bolts that hold it tothe lam panel.

start in the centre (left or right of centre)

Put the bolt in, and carefully lift the bumper up and push it back into the engine bay slightly. Tighten the bolt enough to hold the bumper in place.

Very carefully close the bonnet and check the gap.

Carry on this process alternating each side to wards the wings.

This one is before

this one is after
