Yes mate the front of the wings where they meet the headlamps are the original size . The bumper fits with the original wings or will pull out at the back to meet the wider wings . That way you can use the original bumper with these wings too .

The orginal bumper might be flexy enough to "pull out " to meet the wider arches but how flexible is the grp one , have you tried the new wing's on yet with the new bumper to see if does " pull out " enough without any issues , not having a dig just a question

I've not tried the wings yet mate they're being moulded at the moment , The grp one does pull out enough (about 25mm on the back edge) You are right it doesn't flex as much as the plastic .
