Daw-Two,
That rear bumper is a Gen I Euro bumper.

Notice the bump that runs around the bumper below the chrome. Gen II Euro Bumpers are smoother and no pronounced bump.

BTW Rear Euro Bumpers, both Gen I and Gen II are the same Sedan or Coupe. Fronts are different.

Front Gen I Euro Bumper


Rear Gen I Euro Bumper


Rear Gen II Euro Bumper


Front Gen II Euro Front bumper

Chadahar, nice job on the pictoral tutorial! After examing the difference, I can't imagine anyone choosing gen-2 over gen-1.

Thanks Guys,
Glad I could be of help.
I'm EXTREMELY lucky to have two cars that are so equipped. Blue Bird is a Euro 500 SEC Coupe. Sylvia is a NA 560 SEL that came with the Euro Gen II bumpers. I hauled them home in the car and changed them out a few days later.

These bumpers would both look out of place on the other Generation of car.

I also noticed something different about your car Chadahar. The corner lights, they are American? Cuz I have a Euro, and my front corner lights are real orange, not yellow.
