Damn Phuqin Gap!

Okay, I dont know what I did.. I musta tapped one of those tables or lockers my dad has in the garage that made my front bumper look pushed down .
Looking at the driver side .. I noticed that there's a gap between my bumper and the bottom of my headlight. I know there is suppose to be a little gap but not big enough where I can see inside the bottom part of the headlight housing!..Its about quarter of an inch gap.. What sucks is that the other side is perfectly fine.
I dont know what to do to make it look even and flush with the bottom of the headlight. Should I try to take off my bumper and bend it around a bit?.. Its irritating me!.. I know the gap isnt much but I wouldn't want my bumper falling off later down the road! =X Or maybe its becaue I've been scraping alot going up driveways and rippin the sharp turns going up Tantalus..GrRrrrr..But its only the driver's side! I already have too many problems with my damn car.. from paint chips to curbed rims and now this!.. Imma give up soon...HELP!!!!!...

i need to get ... eRr..

you can simply bend the frame holding the bumper cover on if you want, it just requires taking off the bumper.

you can take the bumper off if you want and push up the metal underneath the housing. I don't really know how to explain it well. When I took off my bumper, to do the black headlight housings, there was a piece of metal that ran underneath the headlight. I actually took that peice off before the headlights came out, but it wasn't actually attached to the housing. It was attached to an L-bracket that was attached to the frame somewhere. Anyway, it's a pretty maliable piece of metal so you should be able to fix it. It's probably just the L-bracket that is bent.

Dammit Xizor, you beat me to it!
