Hi Dave.

I've had this problem. My fascia had shrunk from harsh storage. 
It's surprisingly hard to fix. I closed the gap on my car using a 
right angle bracket attached to the front fender mounting point and 
an anchor bolt. It's hard to describe verbally. If you send me your 
email, I can send you a picture. Though the repair successfully 
closes the gap, it's likely to be frowned upon even more by judges 
than the gap is. At least the bad fit of the body parts is original 
equipment, hee hee hee.
