I reckon it is perfectly possible to get it spot on, and not with washers either.

It will take a few attempts but I believe it is primarily an exercise in getting the slam panel at the the correct height .
The slam panel is clamped by the bolts that hold the alloy bumper crush bar so is free to be repositioned slightly if the bolts are loosened off

My local garage..(owner is a 75 owner) says that the best way is to get the bumper built up and resprayed...they have yet to see a decent fit...

I agree, a decent fit is attainable as the front end is almost infinitely adjustable.

Coming back to this thread, I adjusted my slam pannel not so long ago. Although being a pre-facelift the gap wasn't excessive I have now been able to pull the front up to make the front end asthetically pleasing (ie without a huge gap).
