Voted no, not even close to fitting so unless you have deep pockets or can fibreglass yourself, it will look rubbish.

i assume you are thinking about it cause its cheap.
Just remember car parts are like women.
Cheap ones will look nasty, ride poorly and probably end up on someone elses car.
Expensive ones will look good, ride well and still probably end up on someone elses car.
My tip, just leave it standard.

I voted yes, because it's not done very often (at all?), so if you can make it sit correctly it'll be win.

Looks like a nasty chop job, if you can't pay $$$ for a pro to do it, you can try doing it yourself, you'll need about $50-$100 worth of materials.
I have repaired my own fibreglass front but it took a lot of time, bogging and sanding and bogging and sanding 4-6 times to get it even remotely right.
