Does other bodywork fit on a Stuart Taylor Locost?

I am soon to take delivery of a Stuart Taylor chassis but am just working out bodywork to go with it. If for whatever reason I dont want to use the Stuart Taylor bodywork does other companies bodywork fit (or easily be made to fit) such as Luego (or the new Viper)?

If it's a book spec Locost chassis then I would have thought other manfacturer's Locost bodywork should fit without too much fettling.

Is it the BMW Z3 style bonnet vents that are putting you off? I'm not a fan either.

Haha, yeh, I guess they're not the most attractive of things. I think I prefer the slightly taller bonnet line of the Luego's

Did it take much modifying to enable it to fit? As someone said above, they're both book chassis so I dont expect it to be anything major.
