Bonnet adjustment

Hi Guys.... My bonnet doesn't seem to sit flush, when I close it there seems to be a gap and feels like there is a bit of "play" when I push it.. I was curious to see if this is a common problem and if its an easy fix?...

I might b wrong but looking at the bumper gap with the front wing are you sure your bumper is the cause rather than the bonnet? Looks like the bonnet lines up nicely with the wing.
 
Hard to tell what could be up from that view. Have you got a photo from head on, low down, just above bonnet height.
 
Looks like the front bumper to me also. It doesn't look right where it meets the wing by the silly little reflector. Bonnet looks fine with the wings. I'd take the bumper off and remount it :thumbsup:
 
My bonnet gives a bit when you push down on it and then bounces back. Feels like you are pushing against a spring.
I agree, bonnet is probably fine and the bumper is misaligned.
 
Thanks for all the comments/suggestions guys :thumbsup:
On looking at it again im inclined to agree that it may be the bumper and not the bonnet,, I've attached a few more close up pics

Yes I’d agree also ... try loosening the retaining screws where it attaches to the wing, and the fastenings you can see onto the cross member and see if there’s any play for you to move it tighter to the car.
