And the clips are in the wrong place for a UK bumper. I found this out the other when going to fit mine. I am now going to have to do some serious cut and shut and plasti weld work on my front bumper to get the US rubstrip to fit. It has already been chopped to the correct length...just the tabs in the wrong place.  :angry:

Cut the UK one and place in part of a standard rear valance its almost th same shape. That's how my one is done.
