I have a yellow 2005 MC Cabrio.Its rear bumper is damaged, and I'd like to get a replacement.

The bottom of my bumper looks like this one: no "air holes" except for one in the middle of the bumper, bottom of bumper has two line-like raised protrusions.

Unfortunately, the silver bumper above is damaged and has a hole.

Would this one fit? It's described as an MC bumper for 2005, and it's for sale on ebay and has the right color.

It clearly looks different, as there are two air slots where my linelike protrusions are.

If not, do you have any advice to find an intact, undamaged yellow bumper like the 1st one?

 

You cannot use the first one because it does not have the holes for the parking assist sensors (unless you want to deal with drilling those -- what a PITA!)
(by the way, all bumpers have that large "hole" for the rear tow hook -- it's just missing the cover for it, which you can take from your current bumper)

The bottom of the 2d bumper may look different because it may be the aero kit bumper (but I'm not sure since I'm an MCS guy -- maybe an MC owner can confirm).
However, I assume that the MC cabrio (like the MCS) has a different bumper than the non-cabrio because it needs to accomodate the hinges for the boot, right?
So you may not be able to use either.

 

2nd one won't work, the cabrio rear bumper needs to be able to fit the hinges for the rear boot on the cabrio, correct me if I'm wrong, also, that bumper isn't the aero it's off of a LY MCS
