Cabrio Aero Kit owners: rubbing?

Hey fellow top-downers!
I recently got the rear aero kit bumper installed, and have a rubbing issue with the tailgate hinges. The bumper seems to be just a bit too tall.
Anyone else with an aerokit on their cabrio experiencing this?
My only thought might be that the mini-fini sport-link (installed at the same time) is pushing the bumer up slightly?

Hey Josh,
The bumper hinge covers are just stick on. You might have to play with the positioning of them. I had a simila issue with the Oriciari kit that I have on my MINI and had to have the body shop reposition them and touch them up (they scratched a bit). Are both sides rubbing?
