There was a thread on here explaining how to rectify it, but since the search facility is no longer - I wish you all the luck in the world trying to find it

sagging is common but can be made to look a lot better by making a hole in plastic at rear of bumper in centre then use cable tye to pull it up. on to crossmember if you look from under the car you will see what i mean.
