Yes, with some modification. The center section the 'Four hood is raised up and will sit higher than your hood, so your hood won't close. You also need the support bar that goes between the bumper and hood. And you either need to buy a GT4 crash bar or modify the one you have now to fit the GT4 bumper.

It will fit, you will have a nice gap to let in some extra air in round your engine, you will also need to modify the bonnet latch or you will need 2 people to open it (one to pull the latch from inside the car while the other pushes down on the bonnet and releases the catch or do what I do and have a small piece of wood to jam in the catch from inside the car while I open the bonnet release catch). Ideally to do the job right you need a Gt4 Bonnet, Bumper, Latch and Crash Bar, but trust me it looks good without all that, personally I love the gap, nice Knightrider LED strip would fit the gap lovely. Here is a pic from a member on CCUK (Kevstir) to give you an idea what it looks like.
