Default Front bumper looks like its falling off... any pointers?

So the lady i got this car from ran it up too far on curbs a couple times, then when you back up it pulls it off. Its not falling all the way off or dragging or anything, but there's about an inch gap in the back.

Any pointers for how to re-attach it and make it a little more durable for next time?

I can push it back into position easily, but i cant figure out how to clip it in or anything.

It has receiving clips that hold it. Yours are probably broken or bent. You'd need new ones or you can put a screw through the bumper and into the fender lip to hold it.

yeah i thought about doing that, id hate to have screws in the bumper... its a pretty good looking car otherwise.

I guess ill just have to get in there and see what i can see. Know of a source on those clips?

ECS tuning has them. I've been putting it off until spring. It's just 2 bolts to remove the bumper, than 3 on the bracket. Let me know how these work!
