Need Help With Front Bumper

[stockxplorer]

Was sup yall, im new to this and I need some help, I got into an accident wit my 1986 325e and hit another car, its not thatt serious the car is still driveable but the only thing is my hood sometimes opens by itself while im driving, im trying to get this fixed but as cheap as possible I dont really care about how my car looks right now, im a college student and low on money, what i need help on is if anyone can look at the picture and tell me what i need to buy to possible fix it myself? I just want my hood not to open on me while im driving, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, and my last resort would be to take it to a body shop, im trying to avoid that tho.

maybe you should show a picture of the radiator support (latch) because the hood doesnt look that bent. poor euro bumpers

the hood does not appear bent, so the issue may be that the core support is bent. If this is the case, about all you can do on the cheap is to try and bend it back out to a somewhat normal position.
