Shoddy work indeed!

Hope it all gets resolved, but it did look like quite a gamble judging from the initial work needed doing.

I can see from one of your engine bay pics that the slam panel is misaligned, the rear edge should be more or less parallel to the front edge of the acoustic cover, which yours plainly isn't.

If the structure of the car is off all the exterior panels like the wings, bonnet, front bumper will also be out of true, I reckon some careful measurement of the front of your car would show the drivers side is slightly shorter tha the passenger side.
