Good luck with getting it all back together - I did a similar job with my tourer after a frontal impact, albeit less serious than yours.

I made two mistakes when reassembling my car's front end which I still haven't had time rectified yet:

1. I aligned the bottom rear of the front wing with the sill edge and not the door. If you fit the wing loosely, then close the door, you'll get the correct alignment.

2. The crash bar that goes across the front has quite a lot of adjustment. Mine is too low, which affects the height of the front bumper. Go high, and then trial-fit the bumper and make sure the shut-line under the front of the bonnet is not too big.

Good luck!
