2016 refresh bumper - how can I tell?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
im looking to buy a 2016 model S. i really do not want a refreshed front bumper if the vehicle did not originally come with one.
is there any way i can tell, based on seller photos or vin or something else, whether the nose has been changed?
sometimes sellers dont even know.
 
Yes easily they made refreshed model in May 2016. Anything with a manufacturer date of 05/2016 or later is a Facelift Nodel S. They will also have the AP1 sensor in the bottom grill. Even if they use a custom grill like my friend does to cover it you can still see it
