you can do it in two ways:
copy all css from foreign site to your css regarding other CSS-Classes, 
-IDs and other HTML-Tags
or
you modify the rendering of TYPO3 to output the same HTML/CSS-Structure 
as the foreign site to use the same CSS
this means: you redefine typoscript-wraps
	...wrap = <div class="csc-content">|</div>
maybe to:
	...wrap = <td id="cell">|</td>
and HTML-templates.

both attempts are a big work as it needs a complete restructuring either 
of CSS or TYPO3-rendering

if there is javascript which modifies the content or appearance of the 
page you may fail with the first way, or you also have to adapt this 
javascript too.



another attempt would be to adapt the foreign CSS to only those parts of 
TYPO3 which are used at all and do it just from look than from CSS-files.
