Grille Interchangeability XJ8

Will an OEM Vanden Plas grille assembly (fluted) interchange, without modification, with a regular XJ8 grille?

Also, will the back fluted trunk "bar" off a Vanden Plas do the same?

Thanks!

They are both a direct swap. In the back, you might have some paint fading to deal with, after you remove the longer bar.

Car has been repainted recently (few years). I will check to see if the bar was taped or removed for repaint. Thanks!
