Is my bumper fit correct

Post

Just fit front bumper but gap looks big, is this right or is it because I have used original bumper irons?

Not sure the gap looks right.
I'm guessing you had a plastic one fitted before?

Well I'm clearly no expert on this but I've got a feeling the early chrome bumpers have much shorter mounting brackets.

Best is to wait and see what the experts say! 👍🏼
