My nose has dropped!!!
Just replaced my front nose/bumper skin with a geniune GM part. It lined up beautifully with the front edge of the bonnet but the bumper has now dropped below the bonnet!!! (mostly in the middle) do I have to remove all the fixings again to realign it or just the upper ones which are located in the gap between the bonnet and nose....???? I did ground the lower front spoiler at low speed this morning which may have caused the problem???r

Looks like you need to loosen the 4 bolts that that hold your impact bar to the frame and also loosen the skid bar bolts and realign the bumper. When you tighten them back down, pay close attention that the corners line up with the corners of the hood and the lines are parallel with each other when the hood is closed and latched on the sides. Everything ought to line up after that if you have the correct gap between the bumper and hood. Just make sure you tighten the **it out of all your bolts when done(just dont over tighten the little bolts that let you ajust the top of the bumper skin to match the hood. Overtightening these bolts may lead to distortion. Good luck!
