When I have some time, I'm going to pull the original bumpers off and see if it's possible to fabricate a structural member that uses the 5mph shocks with the euro bumper caps. It's a total stretch, I know, but it never hurts to investigate.

Just thinking out loud here, but....
The 5 mph shocks have a square foot on them that bolts to the front of the car. Same as on the rear.
Perhaps you could cut these flanges/feet off and weld something to them? Be careful here. These might be under some sort of pressure so you might want to drill through the body first and release any oil or nitrogen that might be in there. I have never cut one open so I don't know what makes them work.
