The bottom section of my front bumper (the grey bit in the middle, under the numberplate) looks as though it wants to remove itself from the main front bumper of my Series 1 Facelift.

Is it supposed to come off separately or is the whole bumper one piece? I'm just wondering what the best way is to fix it back on.

Thanks.

as far as I can remember it is all one piece but it was joined in the beginning so I suppose it will come apart

Ah, I guess some of the plastic welds have gone a bit skyward.

I wonder whether it's worth taking the whole bumper off to fix it or just to put a couple of self tappers through it to hold it in place if it gets too loose.

Mines been off a few times now i ended up putting some nice stainless nuts and bolts through it, strategically placed it looks like a bolt on bash plate

So I'm guessing this is the same with the rear bumper? mine has a crease in it as the previous owner ignored the parking sensors and i'd like to swap it out.

I've got some hex head self tappers to go through and hold it together. Just need the weather now.....
