You can adjust - its the bolts on the front bumber...loosen - lift and there you are. but get something about 5mm thick min (about the same as the bonnet/panel distance) and wedge in between first for you to push against, otherwise it will be too close, there must be a gap for movement.

And dont loosen all the bolts - do one side first.
