Bumper Cover loose

OK so here's the deal, I tapped the front of my '06 with my other car

And previous to that I scraped it on a really tall curb pulling into and inclined end parking space whre the curb did not incline but was about 18" tall at the entrance! You can see the white scrape marks on the driver side bottom.

The driver side has a bigger gap than the pass side does but what I'm wondering is can I tighten the gap back up somehow?

How does the bumper attach?

Take out the wheel off , you can do it without taking the wheel off but it makes it easier , and take out the fender liner to access the bracket you need to fix. The bracket attaches to the fascia with two bolts and the fender with one. Take the bracket off and straighten it out , I've had to do mine several times ...

Bonus Time: Get a CDC Chin Spoiler. It's easy enough to attach and as long as you're staying with the black color it arrives in then you cover up those white slashes for a relatively cheap price. However.....now you have to be more careful parking when you pull up to the cement Stop Blocks.

Although I kinda like chin spoilers I don't think I need to make parking any more challenging I seem to have the hardest time keeping off park stops, in fact I've been withouth that small (not sure what it's called) diffuser under the front end. The Steeda Sports, mild drop as it is, haven't exactly helped matters.

You need a back-up sensor mounted on your front bumper...

Actually I've thought about putting a backup camera in the front end ...
