it CAN work, but it'll not do a very good job. i'm running it in my 1303 and in all honesty my car is on the border of running too hot. luckily my trips are usually short.
besdt to stick with the current "dog house" style one. it's ok to use this one to get he car on the road but eventually you should switch back.
DO NOT give these parts to the mechanic as they are ultra rare,.. i've been searching for 3 years for a doghouse in PK. now i'll be importing one from the UK.
local chrome IS useless, you're better off getting the bumpers painted at least the finish will last longer and can be matched in case the part is hit.
