i recently got into a car minor accident that i rear ended another car. it was wet on teh ground and i was going down the expressway ramp and i saw the car in front of me brake, so i brake too but as im braking i took a quick glance out the left side of me to see some traffic and as i look back i slam on the brake and slid into the car in front of me. i had some minor damage to my car , right turn light pushed in on one side, my right corner light pushed out and hanging. I got back home later that day and i tried fixing it a bit but i couldnt put the right turn light in correctly and i couldnt figure out why. So i was thinking maybe the wall that the radiator kind of mounts to is pushed back toward the engine a bit. and if its possible how can i fix it myself? If i cant fix it myself how much would that run me at a body shop?

thanks
 
you can try and bend the radiator support back by using a piece of wood and a good size hammer.I had my radiator support replaced earlier this year(a mountain ran in front of me :thumb: ),the support itself is 450 bucks,bodyshop charged me another 500.But mine was totally messed up and i had to have my frame bent back 2 inches to it's original spot.If not,find a hefty tree,tie it around your bent parts,and just pull back.Don't forget to take any parts that you might have to out.Don't expect bodyshop results out of ghettofaboulous fixes.Just giving you options.
