I recently got my Mtech front bumper installed today and noticed a quarter inch gap between my headlights and the front bumper. Is that normal?

something to do with cutting the foam inserts to make it fit. There are a few threads about it. Some people ordered new foam inserts from BMW thus negating the need to cut anything...
