The headlights will be different - the 01 has amber turn signals, the 03 is clear.

The front bumper cover is different - the 03 has more gills in it than the 01.

The fender should be the same for both yrs.

Let’s be clear, here: they are different looking only.
They are all interchangeable.

True, but why put an 01 headlight on the right and an 03 on the left? Putting the wrong bumper on will work too, but someone who knows Porsches will know it's wrong.

Maybe he’ll want replace both?
My point was that he can. They are all interchangeable.

People add the 3rd radiator to base models quite often, with the later bumpers to match. No one really cares.

If someone is that worried about what other Porsche owners think, then they should probably address their insecurity issues.
