Default My shitty ebay lip shrunk

Bought this lip some months ago


Fitment was OK out of the box, didn't plan on putting it on until summer came around so I hung it up in my garage. Yesterday I got some mojo going on and decided to put it on finally, this poly bastard disagrees.. shrunk about half an inch and I can't put it on both corners of the bumper.

I understand polyurethane shrinks and expands, what's the best way for me to get this SOB to fit my bumper again ?
