Bumper to tailgate etc gap size

[djinuk]

Ok

Ive welded in new bumper bracket panels a while back on my r5 gt..

Now im sure i put them back in the same place however the gap seems very large.

the bumper sits straight all the way across so i presume it is spot on.. but just for peace of mind would somebody measure for ref for me.

The spanner in these pics is a 13mm

Just measured mine after seeing this thread and the gap around my OE rear bumper is about 8mm mate.

They all differ, since I re did mine its slightly wonky and tight prob 5 mm, expansion in summer hmmm...

Mate unless some utter cock nob looks at your car and passes comment on it who cares if both sides sit ok it all cool.

To be honest I've always felt the gap to be quite large, but the thing is the bumper blocks seem to determine where abouts it sits, I would like to get it a bit tighter

front to rear looks ok, maybe just a touch higher? either way.... theyre never a good fit lol

they all look like that, was it cazarazoo or whoever that had the arches done so they look good?
