Australian 03 Z - different bumper?
Here's a pic of my stock rear bumper. Why does my bumper have a separate piece around the numberplate? Black car for comparison.

i noticed this before on australian models when looking at a pic of a s-tune Z at an auto show you guys had earlier this year.

Looks like they saved money by just creating a drop-in piece they mate to a US spec bumper, rather than making a new mold. I think European cars have thier own mold, though.

Hmm, I've noticed with our antipodean 350's that lip around the number plate also moves a tiny bit, so a lot of the ones I've driven up to 13 now have a tiny scratch marks where the movement has occurred. Grrrrrr!!

The Aussie ones have a massive section for the number plates. I think its also for the dual lights that light it up as well... Not sure though...
