Fender Bumper Gap :(

oppy8567 · 10-23-2015, 02:31 AM

Does anyone here have the experience with the topic? I felt like the gap between fender and bumper is really wide. Tried to adjust the headlight bracket but doesn't do much help. Anyone here have a way to fix it?

Quite sure it's normal. The gap between the headlights and the front fenders are also unusually wide lol

Body panel gaps are all pretty big IMO. Just the character of the car.

I felt that they are a bit larger than some modern cars, but not that much, I think it's more of the design of the fenders. You can adjust if you're familiar with body work, but it might end up being too close in other places.
