      The biggest thing is that the structure that holds the fenders is the same between years. At that point is just adding parts. So it's going to be much more than what you listed above, All the other little things will have to change and that means stuff like the plastic under the car/fenders and stuff like the windshield wash fluid.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      not the same swap. But I've always wanted to swap the front bumper/lights with a 2006 Chevy Kalos. I love the one piece lights versus the America Aveo with the separate turn single light. Name:  01a.JPG

      anyone know if this swap would work??? I've located the Kalos front bumper piece, the grill, and the lights to do this swap. Don't want to order the parts to find out it requires body work. If you can't swap this, I'm going to replace my stock bumper/hood due to road wear over the course of 9 years. Any info is greatly appreciated!!!!

      I'm pretty sure it does. I think you can just swap it over with no major problems.

      that's what I was hoping for. looks like it from the pictures that the hood and front side panels match 100%. but pictures can be deceiving.
