Default 1998 940t rear bumper

Can someone tell me if the bumper as 2 parts or if I'm seeing it wrong?
I'm gonna buy this car and the rear bumper has a part missing.
IS that a separate part that can be assembled separately or is that part of the bumper and i need to replace the whole bumper?
Front is also missing a bit on the corner bellow the headlight drivers side.

the bumper has trim on top (the black and the painted part is the bumper "skin". Inside that the skin attaches to the brackets and reinforcing bar. You can buy just the skin should you want to get rid of a cut or deep scuff marks (some sellers will also ship them painted to match a factory color). There are also bumper specialists who do R+R on the skins as well.

Great! Thx. I'm completely new to the brick world. Any recommendations of websites to find body aftermarket parts? I'm in EU, so maybe the one you know won't be helpful to me, not sure.

I did visit all the websites on the resources page. Couldn't find any.

These are 3 piece plastic trim panels on front and back bumpers. They come on the fancier editions 940, like the 1991SE, the '92 GL, and the 1988-1990 760, also all the 960 up to the 1995 body upgrade. These pieces can be chromed or grey, at least I don't recall any other colors. Of course these are US spec cars. The one you are hunting is a euro '98 so, not sure. But generally they are not impossible to find, the problem is that you have to take off the bumpers which has kept me many times from getting them off cars in the junk yards. Right now I need to remove the back bumper off my '92 GL as these same pieces are faded--i need to repaint them back to grey...

Didn't notice you had posted this. Actually sent you the pic.
I searched online. Couldn't find it anywhere
I did find 2 bumpers for about 110€ each. Not green. But it was while searching for another stuff, so i didn't really confirm if they fit this car. Still I would much rather buy the trims than the bumpers.
Are there shops still selling new body parts for these cars? I can't find any.
