Euro bumper mounting question

OK so you currently have a crooked rear US bumper and want to know if a euro rear will still look crooked or even fit? Don't euro-bumpers come with new mounts?(I doubt the mounts/bolt holes on the actual chassis are off, as the US bumper mounts are designed to take the impact). I would think if you took off your US bumper you'd find that one of the mounts is crushed/bent inwards, and if you're replacing that with a euro bumper it should come with it's own, different set of mounts. Or you could just get a straight US mount. HTH,

I believe the car may have been "bumped" from behind. Is there adequate clearance with the Euro bumpers that they could be mounted if the bumper mounts are a bit off? Or do you think I could somehow straighten the bumper mounts?
