The only difference is the plate recess, I guess if you know someone that was hand with a plastic welder it could be done...

Shorter plate recess and slightly wider due to US safety laws

us spec bumper is different as said by steve due to the us laws.

you can buy us spec bumpers and rubstrips from vw but doubt they would be cheep. not sure how much tps would do them for.

however you may be able to bodge the us spec rubstip into the standard bumper then use a bit of plastic welding/filler before getting the bumper sprayed
