Technical Bonnet too high?
it does look like a big gap.
is that a brand new front bumper too?
this may indicate repaired crash damage, you may want to get it looked at to ensure its been done properly. bonnets don't usually need adjusting!

Mines the same, went in to get a new radiator under warranty and came back with what looks to me like a larger gap, I am pretty convinced the imbeciles at Arnold Shark never put the bumper back on correctly but everything seems to line up.
Saying that every time my car goes near them they think it's ok not to put all bolts/screws back on.

It's very easy to adjust with the rubber screw bumpers on the bonnet and the torx screws just above the top grille.
Yeah this should be a simple fix. Mines a pain, too low and it rattles, and adjust it so it don't rattle and it sits to high like in the picture.... I'll get it just right one day haha
Thanks!
as posted, can be adjusted, mine was like this after a radiator job too.
So what gets adjusted, the bonnet or bumper

Errr............ The one thats wrong.
Seriously, on the OPs' picture, it looks as though the bonnet fit to the wings is OK. Maybe the bumper is low. Really needs good clear pics of all the panel fits to be sure.

both can be adjusted. even the headlights might need a little adjusting if the car has been in a collision.
Well thats what I was checking, as the bonnet can't be what needs adjusting as it already lines up with everything else.
:yeahthat:
its the bumper
that's what I thought. lack of reg plate suggests its been altered.
My bonnet is also like that and also has a bit of play in it which suggests it could also be a dodgy lock? You can see it move up and down quite a bit, I though it wasn't shut properly the first time I spotted it! along with some nice rattles.
