Ok well I'm a bit of a perfectionist to be honest so I'd probably straighten the capacitor by heating the joints. I certainly wouldn't leave it bent, whether it could be seen or not the very fact that I know it's bent would irritate me.
I have a good parts database so there's no contest there.
But my car is probably my most valued posession, I don't own very much radio equipment, not really my field of interest.
