Front bumper 'sagging' / gap

Recommended Posts

Can these be ordered from a Subaru dealer as Toyota want £16 per clip to order from them. Or is it japanparts and pay more in postage than the clips.

Update:

So took it back to Body shop that re fitted bumper and they kindly re fitted GT86 2017 bumper again and “brought it forward”. Said Japanese cars clips always have a place to fit, and is now perfect with slight gap/sag on left and right side. Cannot remember how it was before refit (zoom in on bottom pics you can see slight sag/gap on sides). He did try to fit the V2 (version 2) Subaru clips but said seemed they would need to be drilled in. So I’ll keep them if it sags more in the future on the left/right. 

Before and after below:

I got version 2, I guess version 1 do not need to drill bumper etc. But as above yes expensive posting from Japan. Think mine were £40 odd.

I fitted one of these repair clips on the side with the recurring issue and haven't had an issue since, so in my view they identify the issue corretly and solve it perfectly.
