2004 Turbo S / Convertible merge

Wouldn't a 2002-2005 New Beetle Turbo S rear bar would go straight onto a 2002-2005 Convertible...and you would only have to do something with your muffler or exhaust tips to make them match up to the Turbo S exhaust cutout on the bumper?
Actually there must be a difference between the convertible and standard coupe/hatchback rear bumpers...the bumper covers have two different part numbers.
* 1C0807421JGRU - Coupe, 1998-2005, without turbo s model
* 1Y0807421GGRU - Convertible, 2003-05.
This would mean that a Turbo S rear bumper won't fit a convertible.
The difference is probably around the top at the trunk or hatch areas?
Maybe you could find someone who specializes in plastic welding...and convert a Turbo S rear bumper into one for a convertible by trimming out the
area that makes it different...and changing or grafting in that part to suit your convertible?
