Enjoying the progress so far!!

Well, I used vin WBAUT9C54CA189929 borrowed from this car on BaT, that clearly has the desired LCI M Sport bumper cover
I decoded the vin to be sure it wasn't a cosmetic swap like what I'm doing.
RealOEM came up with 51127202669 & 51127202670, which the dealer tells me in EPC doesn't match this vin. 51127907259 and 51127907260 are on back order and will ship in from Germany, and because it's a special order part, I doubt I can return it.
This is my confusion.
I saw a note somewhere about there being a variation for bumper guides with or without park sensors, but I wouldn't see how that would be relevant in a meaningful way. Presumably that would only have an extra tab or something to attach the wiring harness to.
