Wow - that is a lot of response. I hope this will help clear up future issues.

I think under the circumstances, it will be best to go for the sport as we are only talking an extra ten squids for the sport jobs. At least I have some comeback if they are a dodgy fit. I will order them up and do a trial fit before getting them sprayed and report back. I will also ask cleveland panels - they will obviously say they are different to sell the sport ones, but interested in their opinion.

Watch this space peoples - might take a week 'til delivered but I will certainly come back to update fitting etc

FYI - I also foudn this post on another forum about the fitting of them for those that said they were a p.i.t.a. There may be varied opinions about the difficulty fitting them, but given the latent stupidity of the potential breaker, the odds are on that those in question were fitting the wrong item for their model perhaps...? Anyway - post below regarding fittidge;

"You dont need to remove the whole bumper to get the strips off.

I used info from a couple of posts mainly; Remove the 3 screws just hidden by the bottom of the closed tailgate. Use a flat screwdriver ( a big one ) to gently lever one side of the tapered end from the main bumper. Because you are pulling it now from an angle the little clips mentioned above pop out pretty easy. If they do get stuck at all use a thin flat screwdriver to lift up the plastic " slot " and the peg slides out.

The front one is a little easier as there arent any screws holding it in at all "
