Yep just stuck on, only pain is sometimes it leaves a white mark underneath, worse on older cars, where the glue has reacted with the lacquer... t-cut won't do owt to that!  Happened to my sidestrips:

Ever tried metal polish as in Brasso etc? Works just like more expensive abrasive finishing compounds such as G3... Just put some on as though youre doin normal polishing, then buff off and apply your autoglym or whatever...

^ that didn't come outta the spraygun like that, took a lot of time goin over it with some metal polish from Morrisons. Just do it gently, apply some, give it some elbow grease, then wipe off. Keep doin it til it's gone. Smooths out any imperfections, blends paintwork in etc... Hey, if you're not sure, I'm only just down the road...

Its not much deeper than standard really, take a look in my garage and theres some more pics of it on the car... As regards rubber strip, i wouldn't bother too much, the two bolts that hold the fogs at the bottom hit before anything else, trust me, I know
See my sig for where I got my Irmscher gear too...

No problem, I reckon bumper would go fine with that rear - only thin i might consider doing would be to smooth out the indentation above the groove at the top... so it looks like this...
