Problem With urethane kit.

I got my skyline kit a while ago porlly 2 months ago and its been sitting in my basemtn for a while, well today my dad finally took it and painted the front bumber, my problem is that the kit is deformed in some places now and looks very uneven, like the plastic formed a new shape because it was laying around for so long, and now that its painted i dont know what to do to straighten it out, to be more specific, its the center piece thats right under the big whole in the center thats closest to the groud, anyway to straighten this thing out or am i gonna have to come up with something very creative so it wont look gay..

put it out in the sun for an hour until it gets hot then install it right away and it will take back its original shape.

or...... heat it up with a hair drier and bend it back to how its supposed to be, urethane isa really workable material

you would probably warp it if it got TOO hot, but just do as Nismo says and add some heat and work with it, if nothing add more heat...
