Wife's car got kissed
Well it finally happened.....mystery parker who doesn't know how to drive scraped up front corner of my wife's 11 RX350 (6 months old) and of course they drove away.
I cleaned up most of the scrape with some Mother's swirl remover and little bit of polishing compound.
Looks 90% better........ Now here's the problem for the experts out there...
She has parking assist on the car. The sensor on the front pass side still works fine (I tested it).
However, the impact caused the little outer ring (rim) around the sensor to crack in 2 places. One small piece
(imagine 11 to 2 o'clock on a watch face) fell off. I have the piece and could probably glue it back on with a small dab of epoxy.
Now here's the question for all the experts.... (I know the sensors come factory color coded from the factory)
Is that rim piece replaceable independent of having to buy the entire sensor ?
Any help would be appreciated. (As an FYI, color is Starfire Pearl)

Gave my dealer a quick call on this in the meantime.
For everyone's reference, the cap/cover for the sensor is available as a separate part.
