Hi there,
I did a search and couldnt find anything about this but, i think the previous owner of my car sat on the bonnet of my car and bent the TJ "Nose" or lip of my bonnet. Its not that bad really and most people would not even see it but i dont like bent metal on my car. Could this be fixed?
Thanks.

you could have a it knocked back into shape, any good crash repair shop will do that for ya, unless its that bad and needs a new bonnet?.

So the nose bit that hangs down is bent outwards id assume if someone sat on it?
I don't know how bad it is or what it looks like cause no pics but if u want to go to extremes do what i did with the bar that holds in the radiator in my X's lancer, tie a chain to it, around a pole and reverse :)
Ok forget that that will bedn it the wrong way lol can we get pics?

Or jam a long piece of 2x4 between it and a wall and slowly drive forwards.
Well thanks carlos and gashhead for messing up my thread with such useless posts.
