Front right A-arm bent - question 200 1991

All right people, looks like I managed to bend the front right A-arm. I really don't know how and when even though the wheel has been displaced an inch to the back of the car (there may be a possibility my girlfriend did it :-)) , I just noticed the car was heading right while I was trying to go forward ... Now the problem is that the replacement A-arm from Volvo is coming in two versions, regular or reinforced. As my dealer informed me the regular version was made essentially for the US market and the reinforced one for the non-US versions. I have the non-reinforced version even though my car was made for Europe. What does the reinforced version look like??? Does anyone have a picture of it???
And second, is there any problem if I run with a non reinforced A-arm on the left and a reinforced one on the right? I think there shouldn't be any, they are basically the same only the reinforced is tougher I guess.
