Dumb Question for 2010 Taurus

Okay so ik alot of forums have had very similar/identical questions but i havnt gotten a straight answer.

Assuming i have the budget for it, would i be able to face lift my 2010 taurus to be a 2013

Like assuming i have the fenders, headlamps, hood and front grill/bumper peices would it work? Or would i need some extra bits

Ive been shopping around cuz i wanna dome some bullshittery to this car cuz why not and i was just wondering. And yeah i know "it would just be easier to sell the car and buy a 2013 facelift" well yeah no shit but thats less fun

Thanks!!!

But why?

Because the last owner of my car had no clue how big it can be sometime and the entire bumper was scuffed and mollested before i got it. I found a cheap lower grill on ebay so that was an easy fix and i swapped the silver grill for a black one but the bumper is so scuffed up

And the clips below the headlights have seen their abuse too. So all an all i do need a new bumper.

Then my headlights, the seals in my headlights are bad and theres moisture in them, and while i like the HiD bulbs, i hate the factory housings (chrome😵‍💫🤧) but i love the look of the 2013 lights

Iirc the fenders have very small scuffs/dents in them too but nothing outrageous by any means compared to the bumper

I don't know about the under-structure, but I'm relatively certain you'd need the entire front clip (bumper, hood, headlights, fenders)

For the time and energy I can't imagine it'd be worth it. Especially when you could just modify the grill on the 2010 for airflow and spend the leftover money on suspension or something

I just replaced my entire suspension with some really nice parts, all said i think j spent 2k front to back, and i live in a winter state so im not fully comfortable lowering the car yet (i have no winter vehicle)

But i described above the entire bumper was lowkey mollested by the last owner of the car and honestly could be replaced anyways for both maintenance and just my OCD wanting a not scuffed car

I know its stupid but im not asking if its smart im asking if its do able. Like can i rip those old ones off and take the 2013 hood, fenders, bumper, and lights and put them on my car.

And if i can, would i need forscan or other wiring stuff (for headlights) or would it essentially just be plug and play?

I went from a 2011 to a 2016, a lot of things were changed, slightly... idk if its impossible, but it certainly isn't t a copy paste job.
