interior - yes apart from some electrics, like cruise, climate control etc. all plastics and trim are.
exterior - front bumper isnt, grille and bonnet is different
mechanical - everything is interchangeable, but electric harness' may need to be swapped in order to run the new bits (te doesnt have a bem, so the harness is very different between them and th onwards) Non electrical reliant parts are all interchangeable.

Everything exterior is interchangable. Even put a TW rear onto the TF.

I'd like to see you put a TW front onto a TE-TJ. That requires major work in the engine bay.

As belto said, most if not all mechanical bits are swappable. Electrics and interior trim may be swappable. Trims etc may look the same but may have different mounting points (e.g. the tiptronic gear plate).

but yes everything will change over ..... if u go TJ bonnet u have to go TJ gril as TE/TH wont fit with that bonnet..... TJ boot you will have to put TJ tail light as the TE/TH ones leave a gap

Yes bolt in, BUT don't buy aftermarket lights without wiring harnesses in them, TE bulb holders are different & won't fit in lights

i thought that the front bar of th onwards didnt fit to te's and tf's. and by the bonnet- grille being different, i meant the beak part, they will actually bolt up, alothough the tj grille doesnt fit on a te very well, its slightly taller, and hits the bumper

I've seen TE and TF's with TJ bonnets.

The TH and TJ Front Bumper with the fog light holes can be fitted to the TE and TF.

yea the bonnets and grille fit, but not one on its own, you have to get both

Ummm sorry, has been done, Eddy Wreckers did this years ago on their track car, have seen the car and there is surprising little to do

Back to the question though, was asking TE-J, everything can be changed, some parts will require complete setups such as bonnet and grill from TJ being different, Tail lights and boot from TJ again beng different.
