What makes it Euro?

[tiiii]

Cuz it's not DOT; not 5-mph impact-spec. Looks the way it was designed to look in Germany by the people that built it; hard-mounted close and tight to the body Sexy..

US DOT bumpers look stupid.

Where are the cutouts for the euro license plate lights?

Not there on this one. Not all had them. I sold one last month that had them (installed), another that did not. Go figure.

Well I dunno. But I'd wager the pre '74 U.S. bumpers would match your definition of Euros.

 

The brackets, of course, in cases of MY '71 thru '73, are certainly a DOT consideration.

 

Cheers,

You might be right, Ray; all US pre-'74 might have been same as the Euro edition. Anyway, they are what they are in the pix.

Cheers, too.

Here's my pseudo Euro bumper ;-) with DOT '73 brackets.

 

 

Okay I'll stop polluting your thread now

All Euro (& probably the rest of the World) rear bumpers had the licence plate lights in the centre bumper piece, all US rear bumpers did not.

Hence, those that know will recognise this as a US rear bumper assembly. The corner pieces are Euro though.
