to look at a car, a 1.2 16v sxi! seems spot on inside and out except for one small thing. the drivers side front light looks like it isnt a flush fit, looks like its pushed back and sunk a little!

so you think it would be expensive to get the light fitting flush again!

should be ok just check all the panel gaps around the front end, wings, bonnet, doors. check the front wheels aswell if they are in the same position both sides the gap at front and rear of the wheels. if its all good then go for it if your happy

yeah check the metal panel the light is sitting on isnt bent, check the wings and anything that might look like it could be bend in a front end crash, if these all look ok, should be an easy fix
