Default Bumper Reinstalled Wrong?

I had my car wrapped when I got it and have been fixing their mistakes ever since. I'm really hoping someone will tell me this isn't an issue but one side panel feels looser than the other. The point next to the vent on the driver side doesn't feel as solid and clipped in. Does anybody know if there is actually a clip there? I can't see between the panels but it flexes much more than the passenger side.

Assuming it is the front fender of the SVR. There should be two bolts on the top that you should be able to access easily with the hood open and two more bolts behind this piece that hold it in place. You have to move the fender liner away to access them.

The video above highlights this in his carbon fiber wrap mod at the 10 minute mark.

Thanks man! Looks like I'm missing the fourth bolt. Or at least I hope that's all it is. Can't get to it without taking the wheel off though unfortunately.

Yeah, that's the thing. Once you start unclipping panels...Bah

I'm having some PPF installed soon and to my knowledge they try to avoid removing things as much as possible due to the problems/headaches it can create...That's what they told me...

When they wrapped my car, they broke the mount for the lower part of the SVR fender wing. I think they thought if they pulled hard enough that it would just pop off. They ended up dislodging the mount from the wing, so it was just flapping. They had to order me a new SVR wing.
