Front bumper problem

Well i have a gap with my front bumper and my hood so i took it to a local body shiop thinking it just needed to be tightened up because i just had my spindle replaced so i figure something was loose. He says that some brackets and clamps inside the bumber that are holding it on are broken but can't tell for sure. He said that he needs to take it off and take a look but the problem is he says if he takes it off and its more then the inner clamps and bracket on the drivers side that needs to be fixed it will mostly likely mean i need a new front bumper. He said the bumper will hold now but if he takes it off and looks and its more then the inner bracket the whole bumper needs to be changed and then he can't put the old one back on the it was and he would have to replace the bumber so price can be 200-300 or 1600. Ill post pics later if anyone knows anything about it let me know! Very angry i am!

Is the gap between the fender and bumper just behind the headlight? post pic if you can.
