Cat D accident repair?

[Razorback_Rob]

So me and Zakk (ozonehostile) fitted my new bumper today. Took a few hours given that I found my cars past involved some nsf damage. Bent inner wing and slam panel which had been cut up to keep the headlights fitted, proved fitting the new bumper an absolute ball ache. Hpi check when I first bought the car said nothing about it and first I've ever noticed anything like this but the car is noticeably shorter on the near side compared to offside with the front off. Guessing this woulda been classed as cat d damage by an insurance company due to difficult or irreversible damage, but given it hasn't got it on a history check then I'm guessing it's been repaired and sold on after a low speed collision.

Result is new slam panel a lot of hammering In the wing and the outer wing not lining up with the lights, and the bumper fitting eventually. Anyone else had anything like this happen to them?
