Front headlight out of position

[Silence]

Got home today and noticed that some idiot had pranged into the driver side front bumper while the car was parked in the company car park. Apart from a few scratches, the headlight seems to have popped out of position, and i'm not sure how easy a fix it is? Is this something that I can do or would it have to be a job for the dealers? I've tried pushing it back in but it remains in the same position...

Pictures below:







and a comparison of the other headlamp which is fine:

I think the front wing is pushed in rather than the headlight popped out.

Yeah wings pushed in at the bottom?

Is it an easy job to push it back out or am I looking at a new wing?

If you remove the bumper so you can get to the headlight bolts you'll be able to sort that out fairly easily.

Might be able to pull it out a bit but will never be perfect, jus keep an eye out for 2nd hand wing same colour.

That will come out easy if your carefull

I wouldn't know where to start, so i think i'll take it to a local garage tomorrow to have it looked at...

Thanks for the advice guys

Don't let them rip you off mate, thats a really easy repair.

More labour stripping bumper and headlights then actually fixing the wing

Ok that's good to know, thanks mate. If only you lived closer to London I would happily have paid you to fix it!!

Maybe a dentmaster could pull it back out?

I've sent over pics to a few local dent removal companies and will see what they come back with...

I not sure if this is gonna make sense.....thats not really what you call a dent, its more the plastic bumper has been hit and pushed the bottom of the wing in as thats where the guide profile for the bumper fixes.

Its not the type of damage you'd beat out out......more taking the bumper and light off so the bottom of wing [the bit you can't see] can be re shaped........once re-shaped the wing will go back into shape.

I know what I mean its just hard to explain in writing
