I mark the part, how can I close the profit after a bad installation?
The space between the car and the plastic part is large

Is it loose?



The bumper side corner section would push into and lock into this clip which keeps that gap snug. So it could be broken, the tabs on the bumper could also be broken and not lock in or the body work that the bracket attches to could be bent out of alignment if you've had a hit there. That's all I can think of. You won't really know unless you remve the bumper in that corner and have a look.

Is there evidence of damage or respray?

Do you have picture of other side to compare?

I had a similar situation on the same Premier model when the rear bumper section bottommed going over a high gutter.  The guard clipped back in quite easily, however the bottom clip was broken.  Repairer wanted to pull the whole guard off and replace clip.  In the end I got a small thin 1cm square right angled metal bracket from Bunnings which conveniantly had holes drilled in each side, glued it to the guard, held it in place with gaffa tape, let the glue fully dry overnight,  and then screwed the remaining side of the bracket it back into the hole where broken clip was mounted.  It has been like this now for over 12 months and never moved.  Virtually a few cents for the bracket.  If I remember correctly I used a pair of tin snips to round off the edges of the bracket where it screwed back on the original mounting position.
