Honestly, I've always thought both styles look good. The facelifted tails obviously look newer, but they are look a lot classier in my opinion. The 00-02 tails look a little more serious to me and I think pre-facelift ones go great with some black cars.

And call me biased, the frosty pre-facelift headlights look good too, but it takes a lot more to appreciate it.

In my opinion the pre-facelift taillights do look too close to the C-class...

I personally would never consider swapping the new ones for old style ones.

03's are way better especially on silver.
