definitely the euro bumper, couple small differences in the euro version. the pedestrian friendly bumper, front fender lights bumped out, self leveling headlights. Not entirely sure where to find one stateside at a reasonable place, i'd say start with the old, faithful interweb.

I think it looks OK, but even though they have the fog lights I don't see any tow hooks. Are those even an option with those bumpers or do you lose those when the bumper is made "pedestrian friendly"?

Yes, Ericker, you lose the two hooks, no "projections" are allowed on EU-registered vehicles (darn).
The towing point is a "ring" under the bumper, see link attached (sorry no click-free as is a fairly large picture).

Personally I dislike it a lot, it is too massive and true that does it not shot up much mud, but it also traps quite a bit of it ...
