Default Front Bumper

Just noticed my front bumper seems to have a little movement on the n/s/f corner. It seems about 1cm out and you can push it in to line up correctly with the other side.

Anyone know if theres any adjustment of any kind for the front bumper, or if not, what could the problem be??

Cheers, Rich.

Its the plastic turn clip things... difficult to describe but Someone will post a pic... they are regularly on EBay, Ford dont list them for the ECos, though they do for the sierra LOL...

There is a bit of bodyshell which extends downwards, they clip through this into the bumper then turn, they are about inch and half across, stick your head under there you will see on on one side but not on the other I reckon

Thanks for that. Although I dont reckon it will be the plastic clips as the movement seems to be more around the headlight area???

They are correctly listed for Escos on my Microcat, although the pic is wrong.
They are cheap as chips too.

the adjusters shouldnt actually come out as they have a blob of weld on the end,but sometimes it snaps off because people try to remove them fully thinking thats how the bumper comes off
