What are you asking? French to english translation something is getting lost. Looks like a replacement not original bumper cover.

Why is there no paint on your bumper cover? Are you wanting to install a replacement cover? If so, almost all the replacement bumper covers require hand fitting.

It is the shrinking of the body seam filler adhesive. the original flexible bumper helps fill/hide the inconsistent gap.

If the replacement bumper is fiberglass, there is some chance that body filler in the gap will not crack...but it is more likely to crack and fall out. If the bumper is flexible like the original part, there is NO chance that you could successfully fill that gap.
