Are all bumper covers interchangeable?

For instance, will a new convertible front/rear cover fit an '03 hatchback?

Just curious, really, but I just bought a rear cover on ebay listed from a new MCS convertible to try to fit on my '03. It looks identical to a standard MCS rear cover and it doesn't have any holes/sensors for park/distance control. Any info on this is appreciated!

Well, since nobody knows, I'll post what I was told by the dealer:

Convertible rear bumper covers only fit convertibles. They look identical to me other than the park assist sensor holes but that's what I was told.

The rear bumper cover for the convertible is different from the hardtop. Besides the PDC holes, there are cutouts on the top of the cover to fit around the hinges for the "tailgate". Hope this helps.

Turbo740-Are you sure the cover you found on Ebay is for a convertible? All convertibles come with PDC standard. I don't think you can get one without it.
