Don't worry, this isn't a question about a door gap of a couple of mm!
You may have seen my post about hitting a post in the General forum. Since then I've bought some second hand wings off the ebay. They arrived yesterday so I tried fitting one of them on today. When I bought the car in June I bought it knowing it had been in a front end knock, and always planned to replace the front passenger corner.
I put the new panel on today and it's well out. it actually overlaps the front bumper. I've added pictures below. My question is does anyone know what steps I can take to remedy this situation, and is it worth getting the chassis looked at by someone who knows what they're doing? If so, anywhere in south-east Kent that would be good?
I'd quite like to measure it up myself but I'm not sure of which points to measure from to get something accurate.
Below you can see it overlapping the bumper.
However it's sitting squarely where it should.
Other side for comparison (even with the bumper slightly bent inwards)
