Chrome body trim

I was just browsing the "picture thread" and noticed that one of the Es did not have any body chrome, while the others did. Here are the links:

With chrome (the way I usually see them):

Without chrome:

There are also some other, more subtle, styling differences in the second picture (e.g., no side reflector), which leads me to believe it is a European model. Does anyone know if it is possible to "delete" the chrome from a U.S. model when ordering?

Thanks.

The 1st picture is a US version. The 2nd picture is a Euro version. Now the question is, do the Euro versions or at least one of the Euro versions come without that chrome strip. In Europe as well as Canada, there are usually three different versions than here in the US. Avant Garde, Elegance and one more that is alluding me right now.
