agreed. I'd also have a rubber dead blow.

don't bother. sell the car and buy an E30 :D

small piece of wood like a short piece of 2x4 as a dolly (backer on the outside of the hood).
a dead blow (coated) hammer or rubber mallet on the inside. the paint may or may not crack when you move the hood edge back, be aware of that.

Put a rag around the edge of the hood. Like one layer on each side. Grab a good size adjustable wrench and tighten it over the hood and rag and slowly bend it back in place. Do a little at a time and work your way back and forth.
I had the same exact bend on my e30 hood and this is how I fixed it. Worked flawless and you cant even tell it was there..
