Hi All - as I posted while back after my car was rear ended which resulted in almost £4k of damage. Anyway, all is now fixed and the boot lid alignment issue sorted.

However - I have noticed that the rear bumper (removed, resprayed and refitted), appears to be missing a couple of retaining clips / bolts. Apologies to Holly35 for stealing this picture, but it does illustrate what I am talking about.

You can see there is one hex bolt that goes through the soft wheel arch liner and screws into the bumper mounting bracket behind - mine has this in place.

You can see also 2 small bolts that go through the small lip on the bumper (the lower one in shadow) that on my car are missing meaning this lower portion is not secured to the car body. You would not ordinarily notice this as the bumper fits perfectly.

I have had a good look and cannot see anything behind that these bolts would screw into.

Any ideas appreciated....
