Hi guys,
My rear bumper isnt sitting flush with the body on one side, what can I do to correct this? Its hardly noticeable but I was wondering how I could adjust this to sit flush?

If its attachments are similar to the front bumpers design, it would appear that a few tabs have broken off in the area you are seeing a droop. On the front bumper they are tabs that slip in to the upper bumpers slots.

I don't think anythings broken, it maybe just the gasket that is bent.
I've recently had the rear bumper off due to me fitting a rear PDC, the bumper has brackets fitted to each side of the body which the bumper actually fits over, then there are several fixings actually inside the rear bumper.
Its a very simple task to remove the bumper if you wish to do so to have a look.
Firstly you would need to remove the rear diffuser (the lower bumper), this has 5 or 6 clips on the bottom of it and then can be removed by moving it to one side and pulling off.
Then you need to undo the three fixings in each rear wheel arch (two actually inside the arch and one on the bottom) which attatch to the bumper, then have a look inside the bumper (from the rear, lying on the floor) and you will see several tabs which have clips in them, just remove these and then the bumper can be pulled off.
Like I mentioned at the beginning it may just be the gasket that has a kink in it, but I can't see it being anything that's broken.
I hope this helps.
