The only thing you can do is to either use a special tool they have at body shops to pull the bumper holders back out to their original position, or you can take a sawzall to that entire assembly off one at the junkyard, and cut 'n weld it onto your car. the bolts that stick out don't go too far, so you only have about 1/4" of space or a little more for a washer between the bracket and the rebar to work with. By the way if you haven't already done so, the Euro impact strip is about the same price as an American strip at the stealership--about $125
