Gap in bodywork. Possible explanation please.

Suddenly I've noticed that a gap has appeared between my driver's side headlight and front bumper and the main body of the car. My vehicle profile pic shows no such gap, so it's something that must have occurred quite recently.

I've not had a bump in it and there's no visible damage on the bumper (scuffs, etc), so I can't understand what's happened or what has caused it.

The gap is quite pronounced (I can stick a finger tip in it) and you can see the bodywork seam point welds behind the headlight. Also you can see a vertical screw through and just behind the gap.

Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be please? And where do I get it fixed? Should I take it to a body shop or will the local LR dealer fix this type of thing?

Any help or insight appreciated.

Hmm, mine also has a gap, looks like the bumper has dropped. Mine has a graze mark on it though so assumed a previous owner was a little lax when parking.

Head light is possibly not seated properly. It’s only held in with a couple of screw at the top from memory. Is whip it out and try to get it to seat back properly.

Is it the same as the other side?? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

No NMJ, Passenger side headlight and bumper show no gaps.
