I live in Canada, in the only province where underglow is legal. I installed the LEDGlow set which came with the interior lighting, I personally enjoy the subtle glow inside.

Something is definitely bent then.

Looks like it's had a knock anyway.

Bonnet/bumper/wing are all misaligned.

Thanks everyone for the input, I'll be spending the weekend on it, either tearing it apart to find the problem, or finding it before its tore apart ;) thanks again.

Good spot on the body panels, Donald's right.

Drivers side wing (our drivers side, probably your passenger side thinking about it :facepalm: ) doesn't line up with the door on that side and the bonnet doesn't line up with the wing on the opposite side, so it does look as though it's ha a knock of some kind :?

Two new images were added to my photo bucket link above, I believe my a arm is the problem, either bent or bushings?
