The fender gap can be adjusted yourself - it's simply the three 10mm bolts on top of the fender when you lift the hood. That said, the one with the bigger gap looks like it's the one where the tire is poking out more.



Here's some possibilities I can think of:
  • Small spacer on that side behind the wheel (even doubled up if they were rotated and the spacer stuck to the wheel on one side)
  • Staggered setup not rotated correctly - if you swap the front two wheels, is the issue still there?
  • Put your head against the door on each side and look down the fender. Has either of them been rolled (pulled)? It's possible that they were pulled before the accident and the replaced fender was never pulled after the accident.
Just for good measure - take a look at the three bolts that attach the front suspension to the strut tower. Are they completely flat on both sides? I recently got in an accident on track, and now the three bolts are not on a flat plane on the driver's side.

The panel gaps are uneven.. so something possibly wrong with the bodywork..
