Backdating facelift 986

Guys

I am wondering how hard / easy it is to make a facelift 986 look like an original 986.

I'm thinking of buying a 3.2 early next year and my choices would be broadened by including the facelift model. However, I much prefer the amber lights and simpler, cleaner bumpers and air intakes of the pre facelift model.

Purely from pictures, it looks to me like the front bumper would be a simple bolt off/on swap. Is this correct?

Same for all the lights.

I assume the side air intake bits are an easy swap?

But then there's the rear bumper. Thanks to the new spoiler shape, the rear bumper is clearly not a straight swap. Is it just a case of fitting the old cap to the pop-up spoiler mechanism, or is it more complicated than this?
