Default LV XR5 lower bar grille into LV2 Zetec?

I've searched and can't find if it's been covered, but has anyone on here tried to fit an LV XR5 lower front bumper grille into an LV Mk2 Zetec bumper?

The bumper is the 'sporty' type (as described by Ford) with the triangular shaped fog lamp surrounds.

It look's like it would go super-close to fitting but short of me 'borrowing' one from another dealer and comparing the two, I thought I'd ask first.

Not sure about the XR5 grill but there is a replacement available which looks a fair bit better than the stock one. It also says that this one won't suit the XR5 so there must be a difference there somewhere

Thanks for the reply, that one suits mk1 zetec, not mk2, quite a different shape.
The mk2 zetec is the same shape as xr5

In case anyone has the same question, it won't fit, the XR5 grille is about and inch longer across the bottom, it won't fit into the Zetec bumper.
Borrowed from another dealer, tried, failed, learnt.
