Them bars are there incase u hit summat so it dont damage ya rad, reckon your best off taken it off and trying to fit it yourself that way mate, altough on my 3rd sr i got a none genuine frt bumper and it wouldnt sit flush at all no matter wat i did, also have a look at your cross member at the bottom of the rad it could of had a smash and bent it which also could cause it not 2 sit properly mate.

or the bold on the inner wing could have come out if the bumper has been off befor and refitted, mine came out(and still are lol) and the bumper has droped on the lefthand side.

the bolts are in the inner wingat the front the should be two bolts about 2/3cm apart.
