Default How can i fix this my bumper

hey so i'm pretty sure my car before i bought it was in a front on left side (right side picture) crash as when i fixed my passangers door handle there was glass in the bottem of it, also my cold aircon doesn't work and if i'm correct the gas is down that side aswell?
Anyway how can i fix this up apart from re-shaping the metal under the bonnet, could i take it somewhere to be fixed? Ill post some pictures

personally I suggest you take off the bumper cover grill maybe fenders and see how it looks under them. It could be as simple as a rusted out clip causing it to hang. Edit* I just noticed the headlight looks like it got clocked pretty good too, that and or the hood doesn't line up very well either.

personally I would spend the 30 mins taking the bumper cover off and checking the body to see if everything looks straight compared to a straight edge
Anywhere i can find out how to take it off?
I'm almost certain it's bent here Green bits are the bend bits and blue it doesn't match up

Yeah i'm defiantly sure it's safe to operate but i'm hoping to sell it in a year or so and want it to look as good as it can, it just looks very crappy in really life, it just doesn't match up like normal cars do at the front and it's very annoying to look at, I just repainted the little thing at the bottem that screws on because the previous owner didn't prep it and put one or two coats of 2$ paint on it..
Ill maybe take a look tomorrow but i got some driving to do in the week so the weekend sounds better, Thanks bud ill update with what i do/see
