EG headlight to bumper gap ?

**Timothy** · 12-02-2012 11:50 AM

So my EG hatch came with these shitty aftermarket lights on it and it had a pretty big gap between them and the bumper, does anyone know how to fix this? Or is it the headlights which are the problem?
Also the bonnet hangs over a little and had a bit of a gap too.. Is this normal for a eg?
Any help will be great!
Heres some pics of what I'm talking about:

I reckon you can fix up the gap, you can loose the headlight nuts and push it forward. Also you can loose the bumper, push it a bit backward and tight it back.

I've got the same stupid gap and am planning to fix it. I don't know what the screw things are called, but it clips on then a screw goes through it. Put 2 of them on the two sides, and 2 in the middle.

You sure your car wasn't in a front end accident? Bonnet should fit at the very least.

edit: these are sort of what im talking about, but it's a tighter clip

Thanks for the replies guys,
I'll give what yous said a go.
The bonnet isn't too bad, it's just slightly hanging over the bumper, I'm not sure if it's had any front end damage in its 18 years of life, it might have.
I'll take the bumper off and see if there are any signs of repair

It could also be a aftermarket bumper which doesnt fit well.

That is also a possibility, are there any marking on the inside of a oem bumper to verify that's it's made by honda?

the bonnet should be pretty obvious if it isnt straight, if it is that is ruled out.
Take the bumper off, it could of been put on by the previous owner on the piss, make it not sit right. I did it today lol.
I just unloosened all the screw/bolts and adjusted it properly and was fine.
