Default bumper pushed in assymetrically on one side

I am hoping there is a way to adjust this. just noticed. one side is off by several inches. not a great look (never mind the paint hehe)

Because it looks like that car hit something in the front passenger side... bumper shock collapsed and the hood is out of alignment.

grab the hole under the bumper on that side and pull really hard.

Or loosen the bolts in those two holes and it may pop out.

You weren't racing 944 SPEC were you?

My bumper looked like that after almost every race.

Or, you can remove bumper, drill hole to drain bumper shock oil out and compress both sides in. This gives it a cleaner look. More like the EURO cars.

Ugh, no the "crashed bumper" mod does not make the car look better or more Euro. It looks like you rearended someone and cannot afford repairs.

Do what Spencer said to do. A tree/truck/fixed object and pully/rachet/ rope and elbow greese works too.
