Interchangeable bumpers?

Looking to buy rear bumpers as someone rear ended me. I found one that is 2010 but I have a 2011. Seller states the listing is for 2007-2010 but I am under the assumption that they have the same part number. Can someone confirm if this is possible?

The only thing to me that looks different is the grill area.

For example a listing on the 2010:

And a 2011 rear bumper:

Looks like i should be able to pop out the grill area and just dump the old one in?

Note that I have a 2011 R56 S

The grills/bumpers are slightly different shapes and will not directly swap.

Thanks for the confirmation! Guess I'll just keep waiting until something pops up
