from what i know, only differences - no bumperettes, and opening for rear tow hook in different place (ultimately you would have to change your rear bumper bar, or drill and tap your existing bumper bar, in order to be able to use the rear tow hook).

Worth checking to see if the bumper bar is drilled on both sides. I feel sorry for you guys with the ugly bumpertte monstrosities.

Yeah, they’re pretty fugly.
Unlike most of the rest of the world, we in North America have the narrower width number plates and I think some Stuttgart engineer came up with bumperettes to punish us, I mean fill in the extra width.
