Default Bumper cover question

I'm in the market for a replacement bumper cover for my 2010 987.2 CS PDK

I'm looking for a used one.

PET lists different part #'s for PDK vs 6 MT

I know PDK has 3rd center rad but it seems both bumper covers have the center opening?

What is the difference between them for just the bare shell?

I think one difference is the center radiator model has openings in the bottom for airflow. On a MT car with no center radiator, the openings are not there. Based on my experience with adding the center radiator to my 6MT Cayman R. The shop had to cut some slots in the underside of the bumper cover. I believe the area is marked where the slots go.

Maybe a good time to do the GT3 front bumper conversion?

I thought about it but since it's not plug and play I don't feel like undertaking that project now.

Would it be possible to post a pic of the cutouts you are referring to ?

A 997 Turbo bumper?

If you find a bumper cover, ship it Greyhound. FYI.
