USA Bumpers compared to UK Spec

I have the opportunity to purchase a US Spec Golf 337 (Anni) front splitter.
Looks the same as the UK one. Looks like it fits the same as the UK one.
But, does anyone know if they are the same part?
MAny thanks!

No it will not fit with you cutting a bit out of it.

This my UK valance being cut to fit a US bumper. If you only have a UK bumper don't see why you would give yourself the bother

Ah right......
So the US to UK would be the opposite of that.
The bother is i've been browsing for months and no decent UK spec valances come up. They are all battered or well overpriced.
The US spec ones come out at £165 delivered from the US brand new.

Yea needs a bit cut out. There will be import tax on top of that tho I would have thought.
Lad breaking an Anni on E38 and one on eBay for £100 few marks on it but easy fix when getting painted.
