Default Front end damage. Question?

My dad ran into the rear of a rolls royce with my EG9 well the front is pushed in and down I replaced the hood but the latch wont line up with the new hood because the front bar where the radiator and headlights are held is bent inward is there anyway to fix this I'm thinking of pulling it but don't know where to start or can I just replace that part?

Well for pictures can't really see that much it's just the RT headlight is pushed in inward well pretty much everything from to the LFT headlight nothing really damaged just bent in it use to close with the bent hood but now the latch is off probably about 2 inches the hood hooks but it doesn't lock so I just hook it from the bottom with the hook with the black rubber and hook it to the towhook so the hood doesn't wiggle around.

So I take it the part that holds the radiator and lights is removable or is it welded? Sorry to ask so many questions just want to make sure that it's removable before i touch it. tnx for the input doh.

if it aint too bad just hook it up where its bent in and and have the other end anchored to a truck or something real tough and pull it out or put your car in reverse till you can get you hood to close, or you can replace it, its spot welded on, i have pulled out my radiator support once like i mentioned above on my ej and then later it got hit again so i just had it replaced.
hope this helps
