It was feeling a little bit dated so I thought a refresh would be good.This is what it looked like before. It's a bone stock daily driver with some decals. The union jack on the roof was done by MotorsportPlayground.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-j5p_XE9UK0A/Sn_x1AyoBMI/AAAAAAAAE6U/6qSNjQjAAOw/s640/IMG_1277.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-j1pYM0RGWk0/Sn_xlzpf3pI/AAAAAAAAE6M/ViQHf8QPOr8/s640/IMG_1280.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zDbkuEoZ4rY/Sn_xluu6aRI/AAAAAAAAE6E/PeYC6RSKGjo/s640/IMG_1281.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So then Project "Kermit" begins. I chose to go with the Lamborghini green "Verde Ithaca", hence why "Kermit". *laughs*So off it went to the paint shop...<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VkbqNSFVuJs/ThIr1mn-PgI/AAAAAAAANKI/REPz7gFINEk/s800/IMG_0041.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I was a bit skeptical when I first saw it with the color. It didn't really look good. I went home thinking, what have I done! But it grew on me after I had a few other things done.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Yu9_uwLkoJo/ThhFSxaAAHI/AAAAAAAANKo/gRV0lcrfx-k/s640/IMG_0062.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So far, this is what that has been done. I had all the roof and chrome bits blacked out. A JCW front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts were fitted.<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gdK2i-tdk3U/Tkk8FUJO5FI/AAAAAAAANVQ/KCLoQJNy1hg/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520116%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Door handles, the badges will have to be blacked out as well. I was supposed to fit the carbon fiber door handles, gas cap and head light surrounds but right now, looks like many of the parts do not fit well so I am not taking the risk. Might as well black everything out first and see what fits over it later. <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-R77MQ3puswg/Tkk61nWOGlI/AAAAAAAANT8/J4X3XFWle7M/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520101%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Cooper S grills have been blacked out too, leaving the S chrome to stand out. Will be getting some black out side signals and LED's to compliment it.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Omei4dLo-CA/Tkk8E4N65eI/AAAAAAAANU4/UHe_79wqr3s/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520113%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The rims have been powder coated black. I took the liberty of spraying the calipers bright red as well.<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EtlJ5fe-n70/Tkk8E58w66I/AAAAAAAANVA/Vjq9yNwfHRo/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520114%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Joey moded the face lifted lights. It's not complete yet, I want to black out the round bit surrounding the projector ballast at the top as well.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ELPv1XJxOTg/Tkk62F9eR9I/AAAAAAAANUM/eJuZlgYM4ws/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520108%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Face lifted the tail lights as well with a twist, they are LED's. Will have to black out that chrome surrounding bit too... <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1JUq_UQG2VU/Tkk8EiUuk6I/AAAAAAAANUw/se8S128xJB4/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520111%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Replaced the third brake light with a blacked out one. It runs LED's now too and they are super bright.<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jsCBpybg-qw/Tkk62GhjQgI/AAAAAAAANUU/4bzjqUkcONM/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520109%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qnuz_Uvmru4/Tkk8FJ11-cI/AAAAAAAANVI/scoikL9Yt4I/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520115%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So far I think it's coming along pretty nicely. <img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lqMkzWkiVjU/Tkk619BTMgI/AAAAAAAANUE/COXCU3VZP7g/s640/iPhone%2525204%252520106%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Any other suggestions?more pictures <a href="http://theclippingpoint.blogspot.com/search/label/project%20kermit" target="_blank">here</a>.</blockquote>
