Default Will a 2006 coupe front clip work on 07 roadster

I may have finally found a front clip for my 07 roadster. Only problem is it's off an 06 coupe. Can this fit up to mine, or do I need to get a roadster front clip? Thanks

some parts will work.
The 06 has a mixture of both.
Back of the shock tower, the roadster has additional reinforcement.
The radiator support assembly is different. [06 has single intake]
Radiator is different. Fan shroud is different.
Power steering bottle bracket and windshield bottle filler is different [only slightly]
Overflow bottle is different and is relocated to clear the right side air intake..

Actually the car is completely in tact. I would take it to a shop and have it done.

I'm not so sure about that. The '07 has a different engine and I read the change in the hood (adding the hump/power bulge) was because of the engine being "higher".
I'm not 100% sure so don't take my word.

I think to be safe, I'll pass on this one and look for an '07. How about an '08 roadster? Are 07 and 08 the same?
