Front bumper clips

[Sonicuk]

Noticed one of the body clips has broken that holds the bumper flush, from what i can see it locates into a rectangular hole on the bumper,anyone know where i can find these, my local nissan dealer just shrugged his shoulders, a really helpful guy lol

Apparently there is no clip there;

Unless it is this on the headlight (highlighted)

As hally says, there is no clip there, most N16 bumpers sag there. You can try and solve the issue by bending the bumper support bar up so the bumper sits higher at the fromt.

There's a black plastic box that bolts onto the wing in that area. Its got a 'tab' on it that's supposed to click into the square hole in the bumper. It weakens over time/the bumper weakens as its not thick plastic on the bumper there.

The way I thought of fixing it but never got round to it was remove this box from the wing and resin in a thin steel sheet thats flexible to reinforce the tab.

I had this same problem, I solved this by bending the clips upwards a little and when the bumper is on I cable tied the bumper to the nearest bit I can loop the cable tie round. Yet again I need fresh cable tie when removing the bumper
