I got a PM off a member off here as he was having trouble making a rear bumper bar suitable for the Euro bumpers.

Heres a diagram of the dimensions of how far the bar protrudes out so you can make one that snuggly fits behind the bumper.

Hope fully this will be of some help to you unless you already know it

Thanks again Matt.
I'm going to write a write up on how to make one using the stock US rebar brackets and welding the right size metal in place.

Has any body tried to modify the N/A one to make it fit??? As in making the brackets shorter there by pulling it closer to the body.

No the bar is only like 3/4" from the body. You would be hacking away on the NA bar FOREVER to get it to fit.
Best thing to do is to do what I'm planning and cut the brackets off, they are just spot welded, and weld in your own bar that fits acording to the dimesions.
