Can a later centre console / air vent (with cup holders) be retro fitted to an earlier (pre-facelift) 986 boxster?

My car is a 2000 plate Porsche Boxster 986 - and i'm fed up with not having a coffee cup holder! 🤣☕

Porsche added cup holders in the facelift refresh (so both images are 986 Boxsters).

I'd love to know how/if it's possible to swap/retro fit the newer 986 central vent to my pre-facelift 986? Is it a simple swap, or would the dash need to be modified?

Cheers, Tom.
