Bumper dose not fit right.

My 2006 c55 was in a accident and when I got it the bumper was off so I had no clue on how it mounts but after a little I figured it out but now it dose not fit right there is a gap at the fender meeting the bumper and a pretty big gap at the front where the hood meets the bumper. Plus the end of the fender is all floppy feels like something should be holding it. What I bolted was 1 bolt on both sides of the bumper that bolts to the fender 1 bolt behind the fog lights on both sides and 2 bolts where the grille is. The main part that looks bad is the fender I can take pictures if you would like.

You can see in this picture that there is a pretty big gap where the bumper meets the hood in the middle and the gap where the fender meets the bumper. I am not talking about the gap where the grille is I know I dont have the part there its a chrome part that bolts to the hood I am talking about in the middle of the headlight and the grille that little part

Fender gap looks normal. You're missing a chrome piece that attaches to the hood to fill in the hood gap.

it looks correct to me. The bumper does connect to the splash shields under the car for more rigidity

I agree, bumper looks as good as any I've seen from that pic. Nice even gaps and none look too wide to me.

Okay thank you very much I just didn't know how it should fit never seen a c55 in person.

Yeah, the area next to the grill where the bumper comes up to meet the two points where the hood comes down is deceptive, but even that gap is normal.
