Default Euro Rear Bumper Cover

I'm getting my rear bumper cover replaced and would like to go with a Euro cover without the bumperettes. Other than Gert @ carnewal, are there any other good sources? Maybe someone has a lead on a deal somewhere? Thanks.

Thought about the cup, but don't like how it doesn't hang as low and exposes the exhaust.

I've had a crack in the rear bumper for a while now. Guess someone tapped me in a parking lot or something. Insurance is covering it, so might as well get the OE bumper cover. Figured the winter is the best time to take care of this stuff with the car is being used less.

I replaced my bumper with an OEM bumper. I am told all bumpers come as solid pieces and that the holes for the bumperettes are cut out for the U.S. version. I have not replaced the bumperettes yet, don't think I will.

So did you order a US spec or Euro spec bumper? At what point are the bumperette holes actually cut?

The bumpers are all the same but if you don't specify Euro Specs - they cut out the holes.
I don't know who cuts out holes. There is a guide for the holes cast in each bumper.
