For these sorts of changes I wouldn't think there would be much if any retooling required. Looks like the changes are only to items that are just attached to the car like lights and grills. The procedure to attach them doesn't change at all, just pull out a different part.

I believe it's really only when you change body panels that they need to do any retooling. I remember touring the Munich factory and they pointed this out to us when they showed us the big metal molds they used to stamp out body panels.
