have only just noticed on my passengerside of teh front bumper two of teh retaining bits of the bumper arnt being retained, think i hit a bump that touched the front lip, how do i get them back in as i tried earlier with an impressive array of screwdrivers and foul language, but didnt do much, am going to have a read of my haynes but if anyone else has had this problem plz give us a shout to how you fixed it, 40mm drop didnt help methinks, want my motor looking more showroom than busted sofa for the trackie in november!! :p ;)

If I understand what's happened I think you just need to take the bumper off and refit it. It's a 15min job, once you've found all the screws/bolts etc...

what about all the bits under the bumper (Grilles and spoilers?), do they need to come off too?? have only looked down sides of bumpers, not underneath.
Come On 2nd November, hurry up, wanna be made a boy!! anyone know of any souped up arosa's or anything like that coming that will embarass me too cause my sx is running a bit shitty at the moment, although got 80 miles out of a tenner today barely went above 50mph and 3000rpm!!!
Altogether now.......Huurraahhhhh

undo the screw in the arch and try and reguide the grips back in , should just be room without strippin all the bumper down , mind you its a bit of a knack .
