On my 320/6 which has a US rear clip, the rear valence and holes for the shocks are not exactly right for Euro bumper install. Also,there will be some holes left to fill in where the side bellows attach to the fender on the US fender. I haven't tried to install the bumper yet, but am sure I'll have to make up some kinds of adapters to fit to the two shock holes.

If I had it to do over again, I think I'ld forget the stock Euro appearance/protection, and go with Zender or other aftermarket front and rear treatments like my '77 has...
