anyone overcome this

[caza]

right i have a mk3 astravan , wishing to fit GSi front bumper onto it , on the original bumper there are two bolts on the front holding it into place , but on the GSi bumper bar there are four bolts to hold the bumper in place at the fron ,
only problem is that the four on the GSi bumper , the bolts do not line up with the two bolt holes on the front panel

anyone had this problem , or know how to get round this , got the rest of bits waiting to fit but the inner arch liners , but been told you can buy these new from autovaux cheaply enough , first thing is to fit the bumper ,

help please

IIRC from the one or two times I have taken them off, the metal bumper bar in the back of the bumper, onto this there are two L shape brackets that bolt to the metal bar and then these bolt to the car.
