The other thing you may notice is that there will be a cutout on the back
for the second tow hook that the Euros lack. Euro valances are a bit
different, but I just have the NA valances on mine. My bumpers are black on
both at the moment, but the MkI may end up with them colour matched once I
get it resprayed, those bumpers are a bit faded anyway. Enjoy them!
