Looks really good, quick question how easy and well does it fit because thought that they were designed for the sti bumper which is a slightly different shape.

Are you refering to the fitting on the wagon or your Sti as saloon and wagon have different front bumpers. AFAIK you have to drill holes to the bumper of the wagon whereas the saloon has got fixing points? Correct me if wrong.
I would like to fit a front lip as well if it fits easily.

i am refering to the wagon
i did not fit the sti's lip
i used some short self tapping screws to line it up
then opened up the holes to 9.5mm for the grommets
a 10mm spanner and a battery drill plus bits is all you need

budgie

a capable assistant is handy

An hour with some black t-cut should make it shine mate. That's what I did with mine. Just be careful not to drink it like I did!
