I think this is a UK only model, mod by former Ralliart UK.

That thing in the back bumper is a rear fog light. Most cars sold in Europe have them, if not all.

I like the US spec rear bumper better. It sticks out more.

6 speed does sound nice though......

Those lights are bright as hell if you've ever seen one. I like the clean rear bumper there.

Yah, lots of cars I saw in the UK had those. You can check my Rally GB pics thread to see a Skyline GT-R and Evo2 GSR with those lights.

Otherwise that bumper looks like the JDM Evo 8 bumper to me. Maybe I'm mistaken.

I think the back looks too busy with all the badging... and it may be the angle, but does the rear bumper not hang as low as ours?

In Europe. hahahaha
I'm sure places that carry lots of JDM parts can get that. Maybe like Vivid or something.
