2003 CV8 front bumper

[con1]

Hi team, I recently had a minor front end bingle which required the replacement of my front bumper bar.
The new bar has popped out of the clips (I think) and does not align neatly with the front guard.
I am told it is likely I need to replace the clips that hold the bar in place.
Can someone post instructions on how to remove and replace the bar and clips.
The reason I have to do it myself is I took it back to the butcher that fixed it and he refused to do anything about it claiming the bumpers never align properly because the clips that hold them are crap :vpo:

Any help appreciated

especially if they don't replace a broken one :confused:

How to align and help keep it in:


Undo the 3 screws along the top of the radiator support panel, but don’t remove them.
Push the side in that is poking out, take note of what the plastic is doing around the screws, it will probably be pushing against the side of one of the holes.
If it isn’t pushing too hard hold the side in hard that poking out (if alone using your knee) and tighten the top screws back up.
If it is pushing hard against the screw holes, elongate the hole/s with a round file or drill a bit in the direction the screws are hitting the plastic, then do the step above

92177408 and 92177409, $11.50 + GST each.
These MUST be replaced when the bar pops out, or they will continue doing it.

Thanks,
I have realigned the bar using vt2vx's recommendations and this has fixed most of the problem.
Also thanks to planetdavo for the part numbers.
If I need to replace the clips can someone post a process for removing the bumper bar.

Thanks again
