Trivia : Things that don't play well with others

Question for Taz: [however, any feel like chiming in please do]

- I have a 'source/acquaintance' in the parts biz, not a sponsor, but in his same area, ahem, that stated to me, the 456 GT [older] hood could/does swap directly with the 456 M hood even though the width of the car and grill were different.

We know the parts numbers are not the same as on older there are reverse hood grills.

So, Q:

do they swap directly, and/or could they.

Why is of course many persons [blasphemy] thought to swap older onto the M.

Rik- The hoods are a fit, I believe, and even the bumpers can be swapped, but with a little more difficulty because the mounts are not identical.

I know of at least one owner who put a 575M front bumper on his 550 because he was tired of bottoming out and damaging the bumper/spoiler.
