Hmm, so you bought the least desirable R230 and plan to make it worse by facelifting it, even though it doesn't make the least bit of economical sense. And on top of that, you expect others to do your work for you. How about you do all the research, finish the project and post some pics?

Or do the obvious - sell your car and buy the one you want. The reason you keep seeing this sentiment repeated is that it makes sense and your idea doesn't.
