i got crashed into on the front drivers side corner. Which bent my tow eye dented my bonnet ,wing and obliterated my bumper and smashed the headlight mountings but i think there is some chassis damage as when you start the car up now it vibrates like mad inside. I bashed everything back to where its supposed to be as best i can and now the headlight sits about a centimeetre under the bonnet as in the bonnet covers it slightly what could i do apart from get it on a jig? its a 1.4 sport by the way

my mate used a hydraulic ram to bend some part of his car back into place 
can't remember what it was

did your wheels get a hit? maybe they need to be balanced..
or re-adjusting camber settings etc
