Default What is the difference in XJR and VDP body panels? Anything interchangeable?

I am looking at a lip kit and side skirts, but I believe it is for the VDP, as it says it is for the "long" version. I know there are interior differences between the XJR and VDP, and also some exterior trim pieces, such as the chrome trunk lid trim.

I am wondering if anything is interchangeable between the VDP and XJR? Are the bumpers the same length and width? I know the side skirts probably would not fit since the VDP is longer. Is the trunk lid the same?

What exactly is different exterior wise? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So all the extra length is isolated to the rear of the cabin then. Good to know!
