It looks a lil noticable on the front passenger side where the hood meets the headlights. I can see the seperation compared to the other side, but other than that it looks good to me. Most people probably wont notice it though.

Definitely won't hurt to drive it like that. I'm sure you could remove the bumper cover and with the persuasive assistance of a crowbar (or similar), negotiate things back into better alignment.

I'm not 100% familiar with the front end anatomy of the W203s, but I would imagine it's attached to some sort of a header panel that may have shifted. Yet again, I'm sure you could remove the bumper cover and tweak everything back to spec.

You prolly shifted something thats causing that.

Id get it fixed somehow, who knows, maybe youll hit a pothole or youll scrape the front and the whole thing will just come off

If only someone backed up into your car then you can report it as a hit and run and pay the deductible (500?) and get your car fixed. It also looks like you had Bi-Xenons and they broke as well. R U sure someone didn't backup into your car and messed up your bumper and Bi-Xenon Headlights?

That's what it looks like to me.

I think you get what i'm trying to say here right chkoo? (about someone doing a hit and run?)

loool

That's the stuff you learn when you live in Los Angeles.

On the record-I have never done a fake hit and run report. What I said was just for fun and laughter ( cough..cough.. man my throat is dry today. Anyone have a Ricola?).

I said the same thing when MU got his rims stolen. I'm surprised MU didn't have a Rolex or a Gold chain in his car that got stolen looool
