Bonnet and Panel

[r_dizzel*]

After ive got a new bonnet.. my bonnet is no longer in line with the front head lights and grill

heres a few pictures to show what i mean.

ive been told by a body shop they think the that the front panel is bent..

are they right..?

how much am i looking for a repair?

P.S the bonnet closes and opens fine

There are two black plastic bolts under the bonnet, try turning these as these ajust how high the bonnet sits when shut. (might not solve it). Also have you tried to ajust the bonnet with the bolts where it attaches, as takes sometime to align them. If all that makes sense.

Probably just needs the bonnet adjusting a bit

which bolts should i adjust?, from the looks of it, the bottom of the bonnet needs to sit lower and come abit more forward

at the point where the bonnet meets the wing above the headlight ,if that is higher than the wing then the bonnet needs to come down at the front ,is it a genuine reno bonnet or a copy one ,if it a copy it could just be a crap fitting one (had loads like this on damaged cars i have fixed )you my just have to learn to live with it

From the size/location of the dent in your old bonnet I'd say the slam panel could well be bent.

If it's not too bad you could try and bodge it back into position a bit better, but I'd take it to a bodyshop and get it sorted out properly.
