Sounds about right m8, dont they sell specific brackets to mount the bumper, like Kingdom do?
Ive heard of peeps using blocks of wood and all sorts to mount bumpers, all depends on how much of a rush ur in.

how was it mounted before? on the other persons car?

Have you tried it without the bumper bar there, or is there a gap between the bumper and car then?
