Basicly i had a small bump a cuple of months back and since then my bonnet does not sit properly, also it looks like my drivers side wing is out a bit.
Looks like this atm
With the wing out like this
Buttt when the bonnet catch is released and the bonnet sits slightly higher it looks fine 
and
This is the front end pik
I think the slam pannel might be bent im not totaly sure, any thoughts
cheers

adjust the bonnet at the rear fixing point. holes are elongated to allow adjustment.
also under the bonnet are little black blocks which can be unscrewed to raise the height of the bonnet. try that first.

To me it looks like the slam pannel has been bent slightly and pushed down so because the bonnet catch hole is lower down that might be the reason for the bonnet sitting lower.
If i got a new one

DONT buy cheap slam panels. they are utter shite and are really flimsy and probably a worse fit than the current one.
