The only way I can see it fitting would be to chop it in half and cut a bit out. It sticks out about an inch either side?

See a few posts up for a poly one that i modded and fitted to my old car with only a tiny bit of trimming!

A normal front ef9/ee9 lip fits different so hence why it won't fit very well.

EF9/EE9 bumpers are longer. Thats why they get spaced out when converting from 16v/early to ef/ee.

Well she arrived.

Fitment is perfect and quality is brilliant.

No inport duty and tool about 10 days. Superb

Not if you use a good quality plastic paint.

They don't move much when they are fitted.

Will be fine with plastic paint. As long as its not hit a lot when fitted. Same with any other lip really.
