What was damaged, any pics?   :huh:

Did you replace the slam/front panel?  Could be more structural damage than simply replacing the bumper etc?

Yea the slam pannel was bent but the struts at the front where sound.

I replaced both rads + fans and the case the lights/rads sit in.

It was fine befor a removed it all not sure if you have to line everything up.

the holes that the bolts go into are elongated, slacken all 4 off and adjust the bonnet
