Looks great! I had the same 21” wheels and swapped them out for 20” wheels with Nitro Terra Grapplers.
I bet the heated windshield could be added on and coded into the computer by the dealer. I’d ask them if they can handle something like that.
I don’t think the facelift changes anything for most buyers. Wouldn’t make me upgrade. The new engine is unproven so reliability may be poor from the onset.
Bigger touchscreens are nice. Different shift knob is net neutral.
You could always cut a piece of vinyl wrap to fit over it. Guys do this with Carbon Fiber vinyl look wraps on their BMW etc. If you just want a matte black, that's easy. Check ebay.

BMW has a version of this sort of video Aux Input Carplay adapter. It's only $250 on Amazon/AliExpress/Ebay. Guess they always like to charge LR owners a little extra.

The SCV6 is kinda underpowered. Try adding a RaceChip mod to get the car from 335/340HP to 405HP. Will dramatically improve mid range power and gets through my gears faster.
RaceChip has 3 products that boost HP/Torque on these 3.0 V6 motors by increasing supercharger boost levels. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport come with the same engines but potentially with 380HP from the factory instead of 340 or 335HP as the D5 is rated.
The D5 is a little underpowered...
I haven't had any issues with dropped calls via Bluetooth. I have had trouble connecting music via bluetooth. The InControl apps seem to fight with my bluetooth. I dislike not being able to use my phone while plugged into InControl Apps.
