the bonnet it fine, it lines up with the wing, the headlight is out of place.
change the clips.

it's the bonnet, lift it up, on the pas side at the top of the bonnet is a rubber cicle like thing. you can screw it up or down to set the height of the bonnet, i'll try and find a pic.

i was going to say its the headlight. they have a tendency to get knocked out more easily because of the crappy plastic clips.

clips are 32p from vaux, so not too much to fork out.

yeah mate I know wot ya mean... I reckon the bumper has dropped and needs lifting (gap between grille and bonnet) and the headlight needs replacing (gap between headlight & bonnet) hartwells want £135 for new front passenger side arch (clips are broken coz sum chav pulled it ) a new headlight and re-fit bumper as its dropped.. bad/good price? Most of that its made up of labour charges and headlight about £40-50

price seems quite steep for me.
arch is a £5
head light 45
so the labour is 37.50 and hour or so.
you could probably do it you self with a mate and save money.
i changed my pre to a post recently, it's all on but gotta be aligned properly but i wont take it to a garage b coz i could do just as good myself.
so save your self money mate, unlees ya cant be bothered.
