Please help explain "the curve of the black plastic piece is the same as the blue painted bumper". Are you referring to the green highlighted area around the plastic piece/screws that is expected to sit above the bumper?

Are you aware of a DIY to fix this? Thanks again and appreciate your help!
All good, happy to help.

In the red circled section see the left hand edge of the painter bumper. Now see the black plastic piece has the same curve. The black curve sits over the edge of the painted bumper.

Easiest way is to get under the car and have a look at the other side.

It’s not hard to fix, just a bit fiddly. Just undo the screw on the right hand side of the diffuser (near the wheel), take out the push pins and pull the diffuser out just enough so you can align the clips on the back of the black plastic piece.

Or just pull the black plastic piece out and put it somewhere safe.
