Very nice!

I guess Europe has some other differences other than the rear bumper. Mine has silver roll guards and yours are black.

what a beautiful car -- and a beautiful place to drive in! i am jealous.

although the strip can be fun to cruise -- just can't exactly push the car to its limits going 3 mph.

Unfortunately we have these ugly bumperettes but at least we can have them painted to match the car. It makes a world of difference!

it looks to me like they are the same bumper, except the bumperettes are there simply because of the smaller shape of our license plates. Can our bumperettes simply be removed to gain the european look?

I think the bumperettes are a legal requirement for the US. In Australia we have small numberplates too, but no need for the bumperthingies. Check out my little pic

The bumperettes work believe me, I was rear ended by a toyota tacoma going 40-50 - I was standing still [it was loaded with concrete 10 bags], just a few scratches and dings.

I assume they were both moving so the impact was not equivalent to 40mph or he probably wouldn't be here to tell us about it.
