warped Velocissima fiberglass fender flares.Ideas on fixes?

[Milanogold@domain.elided]

Greetings alfisti!
     Got a strange problem on my '79 Alfetta Velocissima.I was putting on the 
front fender flares yesterday (that's how it started at least).I'd bought 
these from APE who probably had the last set available on planet earth.These 
came dust covered, and in black primer.I figure they sat around for quite a 
few years,unused. 
      Started attaching the right flare,using pop rivets as they were 
originally attached.When I went to line up the flare to start riveting, I 
noticed 3 sets of holes drilled into the bottom lip of the fender.All were of 
the same size,about 1/2" to 3/4" apart, with one drilled toward the inner 
part of the car, one drilled exactly center of the fender lip and one drilled 
more towards the outside of the car.Huh????I'm assuming ARI used some sort of 
template to drill these holes for attaching the front fender flares;owing to 
differences (?!) in flares.Anyway, the right fender flare went on without too 
much pain;my wife held it while I pop riveted away (the family that works on 
Alfas together stays together :) and got it installed.
	The left flare was to go on next.On this side, there was only ONE set 
of holes drilled for attaching the flare, and these fender lip holes were all 
drilled toward the outside of the car.Again, it looks like this was done by 
the importer (I had to drill out one or two old rivets out of the holes).
	When I went to attach this flare, it would not attach.The left flare 
seems to be designed to attach at a slightly different angle than the 
right;but the flare would not line up to the holes.It wasn't even close....I 
gave up in disgust;the flare seems to be warped;the radius of the wheel well 
opening doesn't seem to be big enough to allow the holes to line up.Any ideas 
on how this might have happened,and how can I fix it?Could it have been heat 
from sitting in storage,etc?
      The front flares totally change the look of  this car;Lazarus truly 
looks like a refugee from a Mad Max movie now.I'm dying to put this left 
fender flare on,and look forward to any  advice or tips fellow digesti can 
provide (but if you want to send me an email saying "I should burn this 
rolling abomination");don't.
Thanks in advance,
