sadly not, the face plates cannot pass the bend in the bars, they are much fatter there.
no point on the clamping area is narrow enough to get over the bars.
I have a couple of other stems in the parts bin, I'll see if it is the wrap around nature of the Defy that is causing my issues.
UPDATE: Upsidedown had it right. I took the face plates off, slid them along and had to twist/ slide and they went round the rise/ bend.
