maybe its becuase the bumper has been on and off 100 times. maybe because its been left out in the sun for a few months last year in the back garden. maybe because it gets squashed into the back of the corsa when the car goes onto the dolly. but i think its genuinely warped. ive been out trying to make it fit a bit better on the passenger side, and i failed. and im quite annoyed now.

please say there are others that feel the pain of a badly fitting bumper.

well i was debating getting it a full respray at some point as the bootlid is rusty, it has a few dents and scratches on it that are hardly noticable, but i know theyre there.

im virtually done with the engine. inside just needs a cage. so time to make it look like a show and shine on the outside i reckon.

safety vs weight. id pick safety. when you felt torque steer at 150+mph when you go over a small bump in the road you will understand

bugger knows what to do then. get another bumper i guess and have it look ok for a year or so before it starts to sag. i think where the badge cut out has been fillered has also effected it.
