The passenger side fender and the front bumper seem like they're not bolt on together well. Which is causing two problems:

1) The passenger side fender squeaks if you apply a little push on top of it on the outside. When driving, I can hear something vibrating on the passenger side.. Which drives me nuts.
2) There's a gap in between the front headlight and the front bumper (Pictures below). A friend of mine told me either I'm missing a piece, or the previous owner didn't bolt the bumper back on properly.




I went to the official Wednesday car meet once and Danio told me there should be a piece that goes in between the headlight and front bumper but I haven't been successful at finding the part # of the piece he talked about

Any useful input will be gladly appreciated!

Missing Hooks?

starchland

you might also be missing the screw (D) at the very edge where the bumper screws into the fender

CLEANs2000

this car is full of random creaks and weird noises

Reapur

the S2000 in general? Or his specific car ?

i think he means the car in general. theres a whole thread dedicated to finding new rattles/squeaks/noises

Ya the whole car has it's fair share of strange noises thats for sure.
OP - yes Danio is right. Might be worth taking the front bumper off and making sure that that bracket/clip (the one below the headlight) is secured well and has not vibrated loose.

I checked and I have it


True, I test drove a couple in the States while I was on my S2K hunt.
All of them has some rattling noises of some sort.
I sort of expected my S2K would be like that too, but I think this one is fixable

Bracket seems to be bent just by looking into the crack
Gotta take the bumper off someday to confirm

Just worth mentioning the bumper is dead easy to take off with basic hand tools. Just takes 10 min tops to remove. You just need to have a place to jack the car up onto stands.
