Heya there,
Since i've brought my Peugeot 206 the passengers side of the bonnet wont close properly there's a gap between the headlight and the bonnet, i have attached a photo for you lot to have a look and hopefully i can find out what the problem is!!
Many thanks.

the front of it looks bent slightly, but pull up the bonnet and drop from a decent height, not too high though

not if you can shut the bonnet and not be able to lift it again without pulling the popper. The latch is in the middle so shouldnt really affect it.

Do you know the history of the car? The bonnet may have been off before and not been put back on correctly

Mine sits exactly the same, still to this day do not know why. The metal latch bit on the actual bonnet looks like it has been bent to one side for it fall in place. Also the recess doesn't line up with the badge properly if you look at it head on.
