With respect to to your M-05 Pro it sounds like you have it set up as either a LWB or MWB.

The Suzuki Swift is a MWB and the BMW Mini is a LWB

My M-05 Honda S-800 fits on my M-03 Rover Mini and vis versa.
They're SWB but I was wrong anyway.

Now that I'm home I've checked and the M03 body fits on the M05 as you say. Mine's a tight fit though, I have to bend the posts in a tad, on the '03 the body just slips on.

Having said that I find that the front grill/bumper mounts on the inside of the body foul on the M05 front (Hop Up) suspension assembly.
