These wil fit with sports pack wheel arches assuming the arches are original spec and fitted in the correct position. If the arches are aftermarket or badly positioned then you will need to tickle the ends of the bumper up with an angle grinder.

The front and rear are interchangeable ( except Clubman ), so the rear one may fit better on the front

I believe they are the sportpack flares and they do have a notch, but the bumper is still too long. I'll take a picture when I get home from work to hopefully help explain better.
I imported the car from Hong Kong so the exact details of the car are unknown. The car has been modified some as well as the paint color changed. Imported as an 89, but now know because of the engine w/ fuel injection as well as the boot stamp that it is a 94.

How big are the wheel arches? Are they the usual Sportpack type or something way bigger? The Sportpack ones have a recessed spot on the front that the ends of the bumper should fit right into. Never heard of needing to trim the bumper, unless you're using some huge racing arches or something custom made. Some pictures would help.
