A picture would help about where you think you have a missing piece.

If you still have your old bumper, many parts from it can fit the c36 one and should allow easy bolt on to your car.

However, please do give us more information for us to assist you with this.

This includes the mounting parts/brackets/imact absorbers and strips that are to be taken from your standard bumper.

I am not sure if they are interchangeable. :(

The best way, since you have the model updated bumper and C36 bumper cover is to pull it apart and test fit as pulling off the rear bumper is not that time consuming. And then report your findings back here to help others that may have the same situation as yourself.

Best of luck.

The C36 rear bumper has a support that is C36 specific...the standard supports (pre or after modelupdate) don't fit.
