help - front end + speed bump = wonkiness

[londonvw]

I went over a speed bump today really slowly, it was massive. I still managed to crunch the front, no wayto avoid it. Now the bit of plastic underthe front bumper (has a very small spoiler under there) is sticking out on the driver's side.

I have tried shoving it back but no joy, pulled it this way, that way, no joy.

What do I need to do to get it to clip back in? I can't see anything broken but its proud about 1cm on that side and will be under stress on the motorway.

help please!

Sign up to Photobucket.

Upload the picture.

Underneath the picture on Photobucket there are a series of codes, copy the one that starts with: [ img ] and ends in: [ /img ]

Paste that code into the reply box on here!

Yeh looks like it needs seating back.

Get some leverage with the likes of a flat head screwdriver.

Make sure you use a cloth to rest against the paint work though!

No it'll be clipped in.

Don't be aggressive with it, just firm. And make sure something is covering the paintwork!
