Spent some time in the garage last night. Got the heat gun out and warmed up the bumper where it meets the headlight on the passenger side. There was a gap of almost half an inch between the two and I wanted to fix that before I sent it to the body shop.

I heated the bumper enough to make it flexible (Duraflex has resin in the fibreglas) then pushed it in towards the headlight gently, then held it there till it cooled.

End result, it removed the gap and made the bumper fit flush! I left a 'small' impression from where I was pushing against the bumper while it was warm, but that can be easily corrected in bodyprep with filler. Pics to come soon.
