:roll: [/b]i had a zoner come and see me yesterday about the gaps on his cabriolet rear bumper,after his rear end shunt a bodyshop had fitted a genuine rear mtech bumper back on to it,but it didnt fit properly around the arch ie;didnt meet the same curve of arch panel sat out away from it and also dosnt fit snug around flaired part of arch theres about a half inch gap?the bodyshop said its a bumper for a saloon model coz they couldnt get a cab one,so are they a different shape/fit?just wondering as i thought they were all the same? :?

They're all the same. I put brand new bumpers on my convertible when I had it, and they fitted no problem.

They're giving him the run-around after not fixing his 'rear end shunt' properly. Doesn't sound good.
