Default Rear bumper gap

Hii there!

On Monday after class I noticed a gap on the rear bumper(but also looks like it's pushing out), it's really nothing but at he same time it's annoying to know it's there :P
Has this happened to anyone? If so is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks

Things like this are annoying, but it's not really bad. Hey, it could be much worse, you could own a Commodore! LOL!

There's a couple of bumper fixing points around that area. I can't rem exactly what is where but there's a nut behind the airbox (behind the boot carpet) on that side as well as a locating stud.
It may be that either or both are loose/broken.
