I think you'll need more than just the bezel.  I've never looked close at the
'85 turbo's, but my '84 5kS (with the quad light setup) uses a grill that is
angled at each side, whereas the TQ's grill is straight up and down.  Also, the
chrome (or lack thereof on my'84) bumper trim on the '84 - '85 5kS's is
considerably different than the TQ's, so the grill may not work with the trim.
 All of this is purely asthetic of course...
