Where the bumper meets the rear quarter panels, the gap is sagging/opening up on the back end of the join - I wonder if it's had a little thump at some stage but certainly no other signs of it anyware. Anyway are the little hook/clip mounting points that that edge of the bumper attach to adjustable?
Not really, you'll be there forever trying to get perfect alignment with it, it's a fairly common issue.
You could check all your screws and other fittings are nice and tight and that it's not sagging in the middle but generally it's just something you learn to live with.

There is a screw just inside the wheelarch (ie the most forward edge of the bumper) any maybe we all just tighten this up fully when we put the bumper back as that is what you always do with a screw right?
Maybe you are supposed to just use that screw to level the panel gap so stop tightening once its level?
It does look too tight at the leading edge with that bolt rather than too saggy at the rear end.
I think the plastic nuts deform making this more likely. You might be able to get a plastic washer or similar in there to keep the panels apart at that end.
Cheers all - I'll try adding a washer to that front screw and open it up a bit so it's even.
Snap!!
As mentioned; we all seem to suffer with this issue...I had all intentions of sorting my uneven spacing when I last had the bumper off but I failed at the first hurdle...so it is what it is at the moment [emoji20](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181209/af01102999ddb5f16af488d0109f5ece.jpg)

Glad I'm not the only one!
I was just putting my bumper on and thought of this thread.
We already discussed needing a spacer at the front sometimes. Today on mine I needed to lift the rear.
You can see here a little plastic ledge the bumper hooks onto, but it's somehow too low. Thinking about it now, the ledge is bolted onto the inner wing from inside and is accessible. It may be possible to slacken it off and adjust the height. But I didn't think of that!
So I added a sliver of plastic on the ledge to lift the wing higher.
Jobs a good un.
Ah cool stuff - I'll have a poke about in mine at some point.
