Little bit of help and advice please
I've been looking at alot of the car pics here and I noticed that mine has a few differences and I took some pictures.
I've noticed how the door doesnt look as flush as it does on other cars. The door shuts clean and everything, could I just need new weather stripping? Or could it be something else?
The grill is new I bought it about a month ago but it doesnt sit flush. I dont believe the car has been in an accident, I believe it mught have something to do with the headlights.
I've circled how the drivers side light sits further back which would explain why theres more of a gap on that side and Ive tried pulling on it gently to get it in place but that hasnt work should I just go to a body shop for this?
This side is sagging and I cant see anyway it should be held up is there a tap or anything that could have broken off?
I noticed this cut wire awhile ago and never really thought about it but does it go to the horn for the alarm system? Ive tried the whole lock the car and pull on the handle thing and there is no noise or blinking lights. Could this be the cause of it and should i wrap the ends of the wire up so it doesnt cause any electrical promblems
About these rims would that be able to fit the car normally or would I have to do anything extra for them to fit. Last question will a facelift hood fit my 91 300E?

No, not really...alignment has to do with ALL the parts during an accident. It's more like the frame that HOLDS the headlights could be out of whack etc...for the hood, it could be the fenders are tweaked etc..

I ran a carfax before I bought it and there was no mention of an accident. I was looking under the hood and nothing looked any newer than anything else, hopefully it wont cost too much to fix
