AydanDalz Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Right, so I recently purchased a 2002 Seat Arosa. Overall it was a tidy apart from odd scuffs and imperfections expected from a 14 year old car. But after switching front bumpers I've noticed the front end doesn't line up properly and it's really starting to bug me. I have a feeing it's been in a collision on the drivers side at some point in its life, but was just wondering if there was anything I can do to rectify it? Or will I just have to live with it? Can provide pictures if you want to see. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has had a front end collision then there maybe handling and steering issues. If not then whatever damage there is is most likely superficial, a car park shunt or even banging a trolley can knock things out of alignment.

AydanDalz Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 These are all I have right now, can snap a few more tomorrow. But towards the bottom of where the wing meets the headlight it's touching and towards the top it's easily a 10mm gap. Bonnet is off-centre as you can see, and the gap above the headlight is different on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) There are two 13mm bolts on each side of the bonnet. Lots of adjustment in them which will cure your alignment issues. Edited January 24, 2017 by cj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
