Front bumper damage question
My wife had an unfortunate collision with our garage, visually the front bumper has a small dent and some paint crazing, that looks like a re-paint will address.
My issue is that the bumper on the one side now sits a little lower about 1/8 -1/4 inch bigger gap below the headlight.
To my knowledge there are no brackets to bend behind the bumper, so if the fix a new bumper? Or can the gap somehow be adjusted?

Likely the bumper is cracked and will have to be replaced. A new one will fit just like well, a new one.
There will be no gap afterwards.
Oh, do both headlights have the same feel at the top where they mount/reisde at the top of their respective fender?
If not then the head light may have been knocked out of alignment and this can require more work to repair. But the body/paint shop will spot this right away.
Sincerely,
Macster.
