So now I'm looking at another part of the alignment, i.e. side to side. OCD strikes!
It's quite probably been like this for ages but I now can see a slight difference in the way it aligns with the wing panels, the nearside bumper sticks out slightly below the wing whereas the other doesn't.
Is there anything that can be adjusted there relatively easily?
Looking at the manual there seems to be some sort of adjustable bracket there that the end of the bumper presumably slides over or locates onto? See items 4 and 5 in the attached diagram.
There is also the comment without any diagram: "Remove clips (3x) in front region of wheelhousing liner and remove both nuts at wheel housing." (This is when removing the bumper.)
