front end repair

One thing to look out for is that the quarter panels didn't get sucked inward by the force of the collision. That is a usual side effect of the kind of hit you describe. To fix that it would need pulling. Measure the front end or have it checked out for what I describe, otherwise parts won't fit right.

Another avenue to take, is to get the new parts, and pull it when you get the parts, so that the front end pieces go in straight. The light support piece should give you a good idea whether or not the car is lined up straight.
