    Hood - headlight trim alignment

    I (and many others) have a gap between the bumper and the hood. The trims under the headlight should align perfectly to the hood i think? So it is a matter of lifting the headlights up, so the trims align with the hood, and then lifting the bumper up a bit too.

    correct?



    Any BTDT?

    I tried to lift my bumper to acheive the same thing and couldn't find any way to do it

    Not sure you could lift the headlights either, but maybe you can align the 3 parts of the slam panel a bit so the bonnet and headlights can sit lower?
    But then you will need to adjust the wings too so they line up - it is a PITA!!

      i think we should start from the fact that the wings height cant be changed as they sit on the chasis and should stay there. my hood is aligned on them on both sides. the problem is lifting the headlight bracket.

      is that possible?

        Yes, the bottom bracket that the two lower headlamp fixings secure to, is adjustable.

          Also, to slightly lift up my bumper a little bit further, I slotted the two holes on the steel fixing brackets. Helped to lift it up another 5mm or so, so that it looked all in line.
