I'm sorry but the US "bumperettes" are not great... especially in the standard black plastic finish - I much prefer the naked ROW version!
Are there any other countries in the world that has them?

And without them the car looks incredibly stupid since there is an obvious spot for them in the gaping hole left in your bumper.

True on US cars but ROW cars have longer number plates generally so no gaping spot

But for US cars they look so much better colour coded
