Question front bumper w/o side markers?

Does anyone know what countries make a GS oem front bumper(comes on the car) without the front side markers? I think Canada, but may be wrong... Any have one or pix??

Thanks,
Rock

Pretty much every country but the US.

I think all others have it on the front fender near the door

Is this stupid but i always though those smaller versions where double blinkers- like the same location on jetta's in front of the wheel not in back?

Unhappy Good info

So, now I have to decide.... I could have a buddy of mine(fellow devil dog) send me a bumper from Jaypan.... It will be just the same just no side marker?? Any issues with the fit??? But if I have to sell the house to get this shipped, I did (FINALLY) find a company that does conversions to clear and LED's instead of the one typical bulbs currently used. Much nicer ala the newer M3's..... These are not RICEY looking either.... Looks pretty much OEM, just clear.... Not like any on E Bay or elsewhere...

Another alternative is to smoke it like I did mine

Lightbulb Hmmmmm,

Interesting on the smoking them out... I might try that.. I am however getting my car redone(due to the accident).. maybe I can ask to have them shaved off while they are going to repaint anyway.... Just curious.... Are those wheels on the Aristo polished or chrome? They appear to be polished???

or it the pic and angle?
