I think I've had mine on upside down—just trying to fit some corner brackets and they will only line up if I flip the bumper, is this photo correct:

Centre line crease is *above* the mounting points

If I flip it the other way up (centre line below mounting bolts), my brackets don't fit, the angle is wrong. If I need to hammer the brackets I will—just wanted to check!

The answer, of course, is that the centre line should be below the mounting bolts, and you simply bend your brackets to fit your incredibly bent 50 year old bumper, or vice-versa.
