Who knows but its almost all of them. They must be at least slightly different as they have to have that polystyrene jobby in there.

That must weigh it down a bit and hence the bumper sag for the USA? Who knows lol

you just have to remove the bumper and reposition the crash bar. The mounting holes are elongated up and down to give about 10mm difference end to end. Pound to a pinch its just slipped down. otherwise you just need to tug the metal supports up a bit. do this anyway.

get it all nice and high and then see where its at.

its a mornings tinkering.

Mine doesn't sag but I think mine was in a front end prang because one side sits further back than the other (against the bits that come down between the headlights/grille.
