    Euro front bumper trim extending slightly into wheel-well

    Title really says it all. I just bought/shipped the bumper to replace my diving board front (already had it in the back, thank god), but when I got everything done and went to put the trim on, I noticed that it extends maybe half an inch into the wheel well on the passenger side only, and I dont know why. Obviously the mounting brackets have been used, could be they're warped? Either way, I have no idea how to fix it. Im thinking maybe putting a few washers between the mounting bracket and the frame to extend it slightly, but thats a lot of washers, and the front of the bumper itself doesnt currently look to be off in anyway relative the the rest of the front end, so half an inch of space might look funky. I don't know, what do you guys think?
