What vehicle did this rear hatch come from on my 03 Wagon?

In Europe the Jetta is called Bora.
Yep. Just wondering why someone would go through extraordinary steps like this if the car is in the USA. Is this hatch from Europe or did someone go out of their way to get a Bora logo along with a red tdi emblem on there as well as the rear spoiler?

Does the plate tub look wide enough to support a European plate? If not, assume it’s an North America hatch with Euro badging and a spoiler.

Pretty sure it's a US gate. I think the euro ones have a wider license plate area.

Thanks all. Was just curious is all. Nice call on the plate tub. I like what they did. Even if I didn't, not worth the work to revert personally.

Bone yard find. Looks @ home by condition of bumper. lol
Many parts of the car seem to be. I like not having to worry about door dings or where I park. Bumpers...lol. I deliberately kept mine completely out of the pic. There is nothing left of it.
