It's no problem to widen the end caps - cut them in the middle and the extra bit you have to add will just be simple (not double, or spherical) curvature.
The designer of my Morris Minor decided very shortly before production that it was too narrow and they widened the car 4" down the middle like this - you can just see in the middle of the bonnet/hood where they decided not to blend the widening in, but everywhere else they just smoothed to two sides together.
Very early models have a patch in the middle of the bumpers as they had already made those press moulds and so they cut and joined early bumpers!
