Body Panel Swaps for aeromodding?

I was browsing through the Geo Metro front bumper/skirts aero comparison and I was wondering if cars built out of the same platform could possibly swap body panels. I say this because the 3rd generation VW Passat's "jelly mould" styling, reminiscent of the Type-4's of yore, has a better CdA than the 3rd gen Golf's grill. Could I swap the aero front grill/panel of the Passat with the less aerodynamic Golf front panel, or is it just a question of me comparing the dimensions?

Would any such swap be possible on other cars?
