Here you go pal. I'd agree, yours is out a bit.

With the help of another person I think you might be able to force the bumper to fit better. One forces the bumper against the car while the other tights the bolts, no? :confused:

Is it definitely the bumper that's out or is it the headlight(s)?

Do the lights have much adjustment though??

The genuine GT grille on the old carrier is a nightmare to fit perfectly unfortunately

It's the bumper that is out,even with forcing the top bit in,makes the grill not fit

Have you fitted all the supports or have you cut what you needed to make it fit?

Cut what was needed as the geniune parts are a fortune

Is there anything else that you can cut/adjust to make it fit like you want? :confused:
