[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah the rear wiper is bust. On the list of things to replace :)
Ive been toying with the idea of removing it completely because I dont use it that much.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]You can gently twist the bonnet to get it to sit parrallel
to the bumper again. Can notice there is a slight drop
on the passenger side. Looks good though mate. Shame
the mags don't look as shiny in the pics as they do in real
life.

Have to see it soon. Hopefully mine will be resprayed in
the next couple of months, maybe monte carlo magic or
similar.

Regards

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah the work was done professionally, but I didnt get a few things done to save money. (Im going to full respray in the next 6mnths hopefully so didnt want to waste money on blending into the bonnet and **** like that - the car was in an accident b4 i bought it and the bonnet is already a darker shade then the rest of the car).

The RH (or left in pic) headlight is sitting lower due to a broken bracket. I need to find a plastic guy to weld it back to the casing which should raise it back to normal.

I dont think its the bonnet BM, the frame was slightly kinked in the accident causing the front bar to sit slightly to the left(or right in pic). The PB bent it back but I think it needs to go abit more to the right to align the bar with the bonnet. You can see it better up close.

Feel like a beer or 2 one night this week? Perhaps olympic and mick might be interested as well?

--edit--
after looking at the car abit close... it could very well be a combo of the both. the bonnet is slightly pushed up on the driver side, might go back down and see if he can bend it back.[/color:post_uid0]
