Hi mate, pretty sure the bumpers / bodykit is the same as pre LCI so should fit - check with main dealer. From what i know cosmetically they have not changed very much apart from the lights and tailgate.

well i've been told that the PDC holes are different between the LCI and pre-LCI, and that would be the only major difference. I would have tried to install it first before painting it, but the shops here are rip-off.. they'll charge 125 just to try it on...

The person with the LCI according to the posts above.. has without the PDC sensors.. So in terms of PDC hole fitment.. its still unknown.

LCI pdc sensors are bigger than pre-lci, so I do think fittement might be an issue, sorry...you did not mention in your original post about PDC's...
