Default Anoying Gap between bumper and grill!!!!

Hey guys i love my car but i dont love this stupid Gap, that since it came out of the paint shop after my accident(1year ago) its had this huge gap in the center between the bumper and the grill and now is when ive had the time to reason with it. So does anyone know what could cause this gap(division) between those parts?

Easy fix...

Get a flat piece of steel that goes underneath all the way across and attached with 3M tape.
I use 1/8 thick and half an inch wide.
Works every time.

Never seen that, but my lower grille has a gap between the bottom of the bumper and the top of that grille. Its hardly noticeable because I have a black car and its...under the bumper. Never been in an accident or had bumper work done.

Actually, some folks had that problem with the grille itself...
You need a heat gun then.

I am also experiencing the same similar problem.
Any recommendations, Pascal?
