Will dealership fix bumper?

Well My car has a gap between the hood and the bumper and also a really big gap where the headlight and bumper meet (both are circled in red). I have had my car since August 2006. Do you think the dealership would fix my bumper. Is it possible for me to adjust it or should I take it to a body shop? Will it be under warranty? I'm just worried about the amount of time i've had the car. It's always been there, but I tried to adjust the headlights and it didn't really fix it and I thought I could just let it go, but I looked at my car the other day and it just looks like crap to me. Also my front trim kit is pretty banged up and I actually broke the right side brackets at one point, but me and my dad used epoxy to make it look normal. Do you think the dealership will use that as an excuse? Any thoughts?



Thanks

J.

Yeah I was in the middle of the street and my dad was taking the pic. I didn't want to have to get in and out if someone wanted to drive by. I guess I could have at least ducked or something.

why not move it yourself? its really easy loosen up the bolts for the headlights and move them around, and then aim them correctly. thats what i did.

there's adjusters under teh hood...the black threaded ones behind the headlights....move the passenger side down until it's lined up

if that doesn't help....loosen the headlamp assembly bolts and push it up and back to the rear of the car...retighten
