I'm planning on butchering extra front and rear plastic body panels. I'll reuse as many portions that attach to the car as possible to avoid, as much as possible, fit problems. The remaining areas will be fabricated using Rutan's layup over foam technique. I'll foam an oversize glob of foam in place, trim it to shape, then lay up fiberglass over the foam and remaining pieces of the stock parts. The excess foam is then removed. I have the composite fabrication skills to do this.
I'll probably do the same thing with an extra stock hood.
If the new car has structure similar to the existing one, it looks like there is open space to shorten the plastic front and rear bumper covers.
