Basically I am trying to think of what might be causing the misalignment in the front end here. It looks to have been in a collision and has been repaired(badly).
1. Gap line between hood and side fenders are not even. It narrows down towards windscreen. 2. Gap between front bumper and hood. Rubber piece supposed to be in between hood and front bumper is now under the hood instead. 3. Hood hammered down on edges 4. gap between front bumper and highs on the bottom. What I want to work out is whether it is a problem with the front bumper(warped) or is it a structural problem from the look of things. Easy to fix? |

I had a same thing. You just have to play with adjustment of hood and bumper. You need somebody to help you. It's much easyer. I used some washers under need bumper bolds on the top, where seal between bumper and hood is. You can lift it up a little bit, move it back and forward etc. Well, just spend some time with it. Good luck.

if its aftermarket parts on the car, you'll have a harder time lining things up also. but they hood/fenders/bumpers do have minimal paly to get things rite
