loosen the bolts on the bonnet hinges and adjust it, they can be moved from side to side and tightened up, its a nightmare to get it right, but thats your best bet.

push the wing in...
i had a little bump in mine, the wings got pushed out (by the slam panel), bit of force with your palms and just pushed them back into place, do it slowly and bit by bit and it will be fine :)

is the bonnet actually raised?
and where did you impact...
you could try putting the rubber raisers down a little bit on the slam panel, but if the bonnets not sitting flat it could be slightly bent, or slam panel could be bent pushing it up, you got a picture from the side?

looks more like the wing is bent down than the bonnet bent up. wing seems to sit slightly lower than top of headlight. and on the bonnet open picture the bit of wing that sits/ bolts on to the inner wing looks like its twisted down. im taking it the front corner of the wing hit the wall m8??????

from the pictures it looks like the wing m8, bonnet looks fine accros top of headlight etc. try holding the wing under the arch and carefully pulling back up and towards the car. im almost 100% sure it isnt your bonnet
