The tbh unless you spend very good money buying a top notch one most R's require wheel refurb and front lower spoiler repaint or replacement so that wouldn't really have saved you a great deal buying an R although it would have saved you the issues of having to source the relevant parts in the first place, although naturally for obvious reasons an R is the ultimate 850 ;)
