There are rubber grommets underneath the bonnet just above the headlights that you can adjust up or down, give them a try

Will have a scan. Does the general line of the bonnet match up to you?
As in the actual bonnet doesn't need adjusting?

Reduced the rubber grommets to the min. The bonnet is lined yp with the wing, but it looks like the headlights have sunk into the bumper
Can get my finger between the headlight and bonnet with the bonnet shut.

These clips I think Steve was referring to are just the 2 mounts, for the headlight to physically attach to the car

steves talking about the clip on the front panel that the light slides into but i dont think hes right
the bonnet needs to come fown to be level with the 2 wings, if the rubber bungs dont bring it down enuff then you can adjust the striker pin on the bonnet to make it close lower

cheers mate.
I'm thinking it's the headlight.
Going to have a look at the weekend, see if there is anything obvious.
Cheers for the replies chaps thumbs:

this could be an idea to think about.... has it had front damage? i bought a corsa and noticed the same thing then i didnt think anything of it i just ligned it up again then when i was wiring my door speakers in the inside of the door was a different colour and i checked the underside of the wing and that also was a different colour to the original colour... just a possibility
