It'll fit no probs. You ideally need the arch liners too, as they're bigger, but not essential.

will the liners fit off my 1.2 though mate ?

They will, but wont fully fill the arches as the 172/182 bumper is flared to give it a wider stance from the rear.

This, don't see how getting a 182 one then filling in the holes would be easier.
