I've gone and dunted it! :no:

I'm looking for two of the white bumper alignment clips that fit between the bumper and the rear quarter panel on the passenger side of a MKII ZS.

Anyone got any or can point me in the direction of the bumper alignment clips that fit between the bumper and the rear quarter panel on the passenger side of a MKII ZS superstore? (there seems to be every other type of shop in Livingston but the one you need)!

PM or reply is great :bow:

I still have the steel clips from the old ones.

I had a ickle bump :oops: and the old clips got a bit....distorted :crazy:.

The end of the clip that holds them onto the body panel has bust off, do you think if I got a hold of 2 of your used ones I'd be able to insert the steel clips from mine? If so, lets talk cash...:bounce:

If your gonna do that, then may I suggest that you do the sheddist fix on xpf for saggy bumper syndrome.

You will need:

M6 x 16 Stainless Steel Button Screws
M6 Stainless Steel Penny Washers
M6 Stainless Steel Washers
M6 Stainless Steel Full Nuts or Nylock Nuts

And if you want I'll meet you and we can do the fix!

Just my time for doing the fix, is all I require.

I'm confused...happens easily...why the need for the nuts and washers etc? The two 'bumper alignment thingys' don't appear to have any screws/washers or owt else...just a white plastic lump with a v shaped metal clip on one side that the bumper sits in and a protruding bit on the opposite side that sticks through the bodywork with no return catches, it's the no return catches that are broken on my existing clips. The only screw I see is the one that goes up through the arch part of the bumper into the arch of the car (btw the hole that this screw passes through before being attached to the car is busted) but I have a cunning plan for that! Are we talking about the same bit?

I have a feeling some pics may be required :hmmm:

The reason for the nuts and washers is for the problem that Mk2 ZS Saloons have. The bumper can sag, this is because the metal clips dont grip the bumper properly, thus giving the so-called bumper sag and bulge, with nuts and washers this cures the problem and also gives the bumper some adjustment too.
