*swiped the pic from RL'er Scotty 79.
I'd be going with this replica piece

and i'm not sure if i'd need additional parts, not sure if the license plate lights transfer over directly or I need a different type.

I may be one of the few but I actually think the C2/C4 version looks much better. It's smoother and "holds" the horizontal line better on the bumper. the RS version also looks bigger with the two bumps och each side.

I don't get it. The RS version was designed to accommodate a european license plate. It's not a performance part. Unless you plan to ship the car back to Germany why would you go to the trouble and expense of doing this?

It is the same reason that in Europe, people seem to want to remove the side markers for the "clean look" while in North America, people add them for the "Euro look" -- change for the sake of change.

It's a very nice subtle homage to big brother RS. Most wouldn't even notice, and it makes for a nice conversation with those that do.

fab looking car RS look is on my to do list, had contemplated the US/Euro bumper but my number is too long so there is basically 3 options US/RS and is the style below unique to UK/Japan/Aus ?
Black car is a 3.2 converted to 964 look with standard UK rear bumper
