R56 Twisted Rear Bumper
Twisted Rear Bumper
Hi guys,
I have an LCI R56 S, I noticed this morning when putting a couple of bits in the boot that the rear bumper has distorted and is sticking out further on one side than the other - best seen when looking down at the exhaust pipes - photo attached.
What's strange is there is no sign of any impact (ignore the chip on the lip, this has been there a while) - panel gaps are all even, no scuffed paint/trim etc.
Is anybody else's bumper like this?
Also, if I need to replace, do the pre-LCI rear bumpers fit? They look identical from what I can see?
Thanks.

I had this after installing my new exhaust. Apparently, the very bottom portion of the rear bumper is supported by flimsy metal hangers from underneath. Just lay on your side and bend them in our out til even. Looks like the one on the right needs to go in, no biggie.
