Title: Front bumper
Post by: planetbox on October 18, 2010, 16:43:03

Can someone tell me is it normal for front bumper to be loosen, it is not tight standing on car, it can be moved 1-3mm up down.......
Is that normal or I have to go to service to check...
And no visible damage is found....what to do ...?

Mine doesn't move at all. You need to have it looked at. I don't think we've had that problem reported before.

Welcome to the club. How old's your i30?

Well, good luck when you go to the dealership.

Are you in Serbia? We have a number of members from Serbia (steffanko, Ogi, GoGo666, yggy, srdj) but they don't rate the dealerships too highly.

Welcome planetbox .. have you tried looking behind/under the bumper for loose bolts you can tighten?

There are some screws underneath, and some of those horrible plastic rivets that hold it in the wheel arches. The ones from the top are difficult to get to I believe.

I had one rivet come loose, easy to fix.

LOL they are not that bad... you just cant go abusing them, and when you pull them out you need sideways preassure on them so the threads engage properly!
