Front Grille

Can a 2006 SL550 front grille be adapted to fit a 2007?
I have an awesome front grille from a 2006 that would look great on my 2007.

When I was trying to fit 06 grille on 07 AMG bumper, I had to cut off the inner edge of bumper. It worked out but when I found original 07 grille, I could not install it because of this cutting. So beware of it.
