I won't even go there Dickson....
But I could ask...if you remove them, how would you tell if it was cold outside?

Remove "Nipples" from 1974 Front Bumper?

But seriously, if you remove them (held on with a single bolt each, I believe) there is a square hole left behind.
Not the greatest picture, but one that was available, of my 74, which came to me without its nipples. I figured they just add weight in a bad place, and maybe someday put lights there, but for the nonce, looks better without.

That's right. I think the Euro plastic frame is the same as the USA spec, there's a connection to the 'nipple', but it's covered by the rubber; so, get rid of the nipples, get two Euro-rubbers and that's it.
Except it's REALLY tough to change the rubber. It's connected to the frame with about 20 'stripes' or what do you call them which are almost impossible to separate from the plastic without damage. Use screwdivers to push and anything you can lay your hands on to pull them and hope for the best. And when you think you finally got the hang of it and it's not that hard, you get to the ones hidden behind the indicator light. Those are all but inaccessible. It's not really impossible, just enough to make your day, afternoon, night and morning very interesting.
Reinstall isn't easy, but compared to the separation, it's child's play.
So get complete bumpers if you can.

I have a right-side rubber strip laying around somewhere. Wouldn't be of much use without her sister, though
