Yeh it is different

The actual cutouts for the grilles and foglights are identical, but the lower lip itself is a different shape.

I've got all the VXR lower honeycombe grilles and foglights surrounds on mine, but still with the normal SRi-T lower lip

It's obviously the same for the rear bumper - both the VXR and SRi-T have the same upper section of the bumper, but the VXR has a different diffuser which allows for the centre exhaust

Yeh it can be done

No one I know's done it (probably as they're so similar), but you'd be able to keep the existing SRi-T grilles and do a straight swap

You can see the 'mouth' on the Turbo protrudes a little more, and the VXR lip actually becomes thinner under the mouth... where the Turbo stays the same thickness (if that makes sense)
