You want to take the front clip from an 02/03 bug eye and trade it with your 05? As long as the 02/03 has one of the things listed?

i was interested in changing over my front end w/ a newer one, but w/ the repainting and other things involved i figure its more trouble than what its worth.

I could see how that would be easier if my car was stock, which it isn't, and if in didn't want to keep my heated seats, heater wipers and my sunroof and my nice 05 interior... I just like the 02 front not really anything else.
