Bumper Gap

[steve_70]

How does that work then? Because the sides of my bumper match exactly with the wings and headlights but I have a slight gap betwen grille and bonnet. Not the same size as Steve's but it is there. So is there adjusters at the sides and then central ones too?

+1... thinking same as well

No side adjusters, the centre adjusters seem to take up the 5-10mm sag from the front. Mine was a tight fit after I'd adjusted.

If I recall I had to loosen the headlights to allow the bumper to move up a touch, I then re tightened and readjusted the beam. Whether it was necessary or not I dunno, I was faffing about with it for a good few hours, but the results were worth it

It's an odd setup for sure (why do they even need adjusters?!) but once you get stuck in and do a bit of trial and error you can get everything lined up perfectly.

The bumper on the B7 was an afterthought - remember the B7 was a largely a cosmetic upgrade of the B6.

On the B6 you could remove the headlights without removing the bumper (designed by engineers), but on the B7 you have to remove the bumper (messed up by stylists).

its weird but I think the line of the bumper/wing can hide this very well.
The one I worked on which had big gap between grille and bonnet was also perfect where you descrive PG, when adjusted correctly it was still perfect there!

I have this arguement all the time...Engineers vs Architects
