My front bumper isn't sitting right, theres a gap between the grill and bumper, is it an easy fix or wrong model bumper? I know it's been in an accident but still it feels like its not right

I've attached photos so hopefully you can see

If its an easy fix what should I do?

That looks a bit odd... maybe a panel shop could heat that section of bumper and try to bring it back up... as long as a bracket isn't bent out of shape behind or something.

I shouldn't expect that would cost much to fix... maybe take the grill off and have a look/feel around behind there to see what might be the problem.

If it was me, I would be tempted to get my hand under there and try to bring it back to shape... but i am not suggesting you do that lol ;)

right in the middle of the front bumper theres a bracket. Take your grille off and check that the bracket isnt bent. From looks of it 100% chance is it is.

Have noticed recently the TJ bumper sits a little lower than the TE-TF, so my question is is this the right TH bumper or is the grill wrong or what?

Just had a look at a few TH/TJ and noticed that (Where the bumper nose sits a little lower) is the same on all my models for TH and TJ's, but The grill is out of place?

Anyway yeah more light on this would be great so I know what I can do to fix it :D

did you try PAP's advice? most likely thats the problem. but the bars from TH/TJ are the same. TE/TF are the same TE/TF are different to TH/TJ

The bumper isn't straight you can tell quite easily.
Just look in the middle up the top, it's been squashed!

*EDIT*
Try taking the grille off and see if you can get some fingers under there. If it's not the bracket try heating up that section with a hair dryer and pulling it back into shape.

I know for a fact TE/F front bars at the top part of the nose sits up higher and on the TH/TJ it sits lower

I'm just wondering if the grille could be off a TE/TF?

It's definitely not the grille, it's the bumper. Look at it from the top, looks like it's been pushed down to the right a little off centre.

theres also a metal bracket that runs along the top of the bumper (where it bolts to the car)

when i had a small accident, i didn't replace that thinking it would be fine, but now mine doesn't quite sit right.

Can someone please take a photo of the TJ bumper the same style my TH bumper was photo'd, I swear there is a minor difference between the TH and TJ bumper at the nose...

Mate, trust what these guys are saying, they know what they're talking about.

- Your car has a TH grille, not a TE/TF grille

and

- The TH and TJ Front Bumper are EXACTLY the same - identical - no difference what-so-ever.

DUDE!!!!

your bar support is bent

the TH/TJ is the same only the bonnet is different which makes the grill different to each other which may give you a different view on the tj bumper 9if your retarted lol).

now read carfully

TH AND TJ BUMPER SAME NO DIFFERANCE WHAT SO EVER, NOTHING, NIL, ZILCH

kapish?

Noooooooooooo you lie! Santa Clause is real! Just like my bumper is special!!! :P

lol still not listening

before you pull the old hair dryer out remove you grill and you will see the support bar u might actually fix the problem by bending it back in place if its bent because the section that shows bwing puched down on your car is the support bar arear and that part of the plastic is actually clipped onto the support bar

if that did not make sense drive head on into a wall that should fix the problem
lol
