Default Face Lift

My ti is staring to look old and is in need of a face lift. The lights, nose piece, and bumper have dropped about 1/4 inch. Any ideas on how to perk it up without having to take it to a body shop?

ya my front bumper and rear bumper are both starting to fall a little on one side, If your having the same issue you probably need to get new clips for the bumpers, thats what I probably have to do or tighten any bolt that might me lose.

The gaps in these area's are larger then they should be. Im guessing its the clips also, but wondering if anyone else has any ideas.

Looks like mine but mines not as bad. I'm thinking this happens when you pull into a space and catch the curb underneath your bumper.
