190d Fender Bender - bumper replacement

I had a little fender bender the other day and hit the trailer hitch of the car in front of me with my front bumper, driving my bumper back a few inches on the drivers side. I've got a new bumper cover on order, and the support bar behind the bumper seems fine. I would leave it were it is, but the backside of the bumper is just hitting my electric cooling fan enough to keep it from turning (it's probably burned out now).

How do I rebuild the bumper system to put it back in its original place? Are there bumper mounts that I can replace to line it back up where it is supposed to be?

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
