You could but the bumper may not match the rest of the body correctly.

tail lights would work, but they wont fit 100% as there are some differences between them.

What is the difference ? I can see the difference in the glass only (color).

The actual shape of the lights is different between the years.

As Keane mentioned, the tail lights will leave a slight gap. If you search on the forum, a couple of people have posted comparison pics.

As for the bumper, look at the body lines of it. I am guessing it will bolt up to the body just fine, but then when you look at the car as a whole, it won't look right as it won't match the rest of the car (especially where the ground fx are concerned).

If you are trying to go for something custom, then perhaps it will work in the larger picture of what you are going for.
