   It will but you`ll have to find a way of pulling the edges either side in,because they`re designed for the vt arch extensions(but doable)

   from what i can remember its 20mm to pull in, Its a bodge and its not how I would do it but there is a loop shaped hole in the corner of the bumper. You fasten this loop to the wing with a cable tie and tighten till the pumper fits flush.
   
   Personally I would make a bracket and bond it to the bumper then use a nut and bolt to pull the bumper to the wing much stronger and longer lasting.
