After removing the front wing, bumper, bumper reinforceing plate, headlamps and flitch ends this evening, I made a worrying discovery.

The other car had hit with more force that I first thought.

The headlamp mounts and the forward wing support have been pushed back./

With the new wing in place, it lines up at the back (on the A pillar, and at the bootom of the A pillar) it lines up underbonnet. But, the forward mounts (under the headlamp) are pushed back about 1 inch. The panel is deformed, nad has been pushed back.

How can I straigten this out? I was able to bring it forward about 1/2", but I cant get it forward anymore (although I had to give due to bad light and the neibors complaining....not that I complain about their son and his stereo!!! until now anyway  Lets hopw they sought planning permission for their pond.....oh I hate people like that).

So, can anyone help?

Fin, do you have nay ideas, you straigtened out an Omega recently with front end damage.....

Please help, I dont want to break her, but need her fixed....cant afford to go through the insurance, cos then she a total loss.....and then I have to pay my excess (£320 - Ouch!  )

As soon as I posted this I thought about my car. Written off with similar damage. The inner wing needed to be cut out and replaced, as it couldn't be straightened.
It was more damaged than yours; Headlight totally wrecked; but it might still apply to yours.
Might be worth asking around though.

Have managed to straighten the panels out with a little gentle persuasion from Mr Timmy Mallet.

It now sits almost straight, but a million times better than it was.

tey say that they are going to pay the registered keeper a visit, and bring him in for questioning for Assualt, and leavign the scene of an accident
