They are normally not used. Maybe if the body was smashed in where the bumper attaches? Not sure why AMK would include those.

The shims are helpful if aligning a typically bad fitting repro bumper . At least compared to the typical better fitting OEM.

Sorry - Don't have any pictures of unrestored cars with the shims
