There are shims on each side between the bumper mounting bracket and the frame. There are 4 bolts on each side. The bolts need to be loosened, and the shims will slide out from the side. A couple of them are hard to access, but they are doable. I just had my front bumper off a few weeks ago and was able to remove 20 lbs of the front end so it's still fresh in my mind. Good luck.

Search for "Front Bumper" in titles only on the C4 Tech and General forums. You'll find plenty of posts addressing adjustment procedures.

I got 158 hits to look thru.

Edit: You could also send Sam Lam an email. He used to have a complete write-up he would email.
