bumper gap
After a small accident my bumper now on one side is a little lower so basically there is a little gap where the bumper meets the fender is there a way to fix this yourself?

Thanks

Ive had this before, try taking off your front bumper and check your headlight mount bracket, it may need some tighten. if its a little bit bent, just bend it back a little to the same as your other side.

there is a metal bracket that it slides into. Its probably bent. Take the bumper off and straighten it out

does it cost damage to the car when the bumper is lowered? (maybe when raining?)

^^only if you hit something.....as for rain if you hit a deep enough puddle, fast enough you can cause some good damage......
