Yes, its true
The US spec rear bumper looks just like a Mk4 bumper
But i think the quarter panels need work doing to them to fit. I could be wrong tho

That was only the cabrio, the hatch was the same rear as a mk3 apart from the tailgate.

The US rear bumpers are shaped slightly different, the top part which is textured over here is colour coded on US bumpers and juts out slightly more apparently. The lower textured section is shaped slightly different too and it's noticeably shallower than the European rear bumper.
