the swap can cost you little to no $$
all you have to do is find a guy [same color] who wants an '05 front...and take his 00-04' front and swap it out....i bet there would be TONS of mk1 focuses who like the mk2 focus front
VW guys have been doing this for decades with golf/jetta front end swaps[although only on the mk4's do you have to switch fenders and all]....it is a lot of work...but it's only time ...it could be done in an afernoon w/beer no doubt.....no $$
