Caught the front end

Trying to squeeze through a tight spot at a gate at work some idiot had partially blocked my entry way, touched it at crawling speed and instantly stopped.

Simple enough job? Am getting bonnet and wings done this summer so add this to the list?

Thing I'm worried about is could I have given the oil cooler a nudge or aux rad? I was literally crawling and heard the nudge. No speed involved at all. All bonnet meeting bumper and wing lines are perfect, only thing was arch liner slightly dislodged but pushed back in fine and is still tight.

Sickening : (

Bad luck, easily done though. It's highly unlikely you'll have damaged either the aux rad or oil cooler as they're set well back.

Do you think he's damaged his oil cooler and aux rads?

A good panel beater would sort that out and pristine wheels
