Does anyone know the best place that I could get a U.S spec rear bumper, or even better just the lower splitter that it has like on this:

The 'splitter' doesn't come off. Whole bumper needed.

I think you will find that is not a USA spec item but has been modified, from memory all mk3's had an exhaust cutout.

I think it is and very easy to do, all you need to do is to plastic weld a section in.
