Do you have any pics? As far as up and down for leveling, there are 2 black plastic screws on either side facing down from the lid that screw by hand. As for squaring it in the well, I've not done it, but you should be able to loosen the screws and align it.

I don't have those black screws facing down anymore, they were destroyed in the accident - but my problem is the reverse, the lid is too high from body (due to imperfect body work), need to bring it down lower, presumably via some adjustment at the hinges?? It is purely an aesthetic issue, functionally it is fine and water does not seem to go in, at least not as of yet.

Here's the part # for those black screws, Jaguar calls them buffers (BEC10761). I saw on a couple sites it said discontinued. But I would check with a scrap yard or use this search engine...Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market ...it will put out a call to hundreds of scrap yards for what you need and contact you directly. I've used it and it works, just wait to see what price they offer and get the cheapest ones.
For the lid itself, are the hinges bent from the collision (I would highly suspect it)? If so, I'd be using that link for more hinges.

Bumper meets lid okay, but top of lid has a sizable gap on one side-edge where it meets the car, possibly due to the quarter panel body work, but I'd like to be able to adjust it without doing more body work (or going back to the shop) if there is some kind of screws to turn at the hinges or similar.
