My wife is younger than me and when we got together, I found out she was lying to her parents about my age. I told her to tell the truth, which she did. At first they were none to impressed, not with my age, but the fact that their daughter had felt the need to lie to them. They wondered what else she could have been lying about.
It took a month, but eventually after they met me, they respected me for wanting her to tell the truth and we were allowed to see each other without having to resort to lies.
Obviously, it could be different for you, but you're still young and you will look worse in months/years time if it comes to light that you and her are liars! Where's the trust?

You have to accept that her parents would not want you seeing their under age daughter.
I would just deal with it.
If in 5 years time you are still together then perhaps tell them then.
But if not then just see where it goes. You can't have sex with her so there should be no problem anyway.
Good Luck!! xx
