Dem, there is one at Autofficia and although not a colour I would go for I really like it on a QP with beige...

One here
. Verde Deep Emerald, which replaced Verde Goodwood at the time of the 08 facelift and is a tad darker. They are pretty rare (I've seen the Goodwood but not another Verde Emerald). Was a bit dubious when I first spotted mine on the dealer’s site (thoughts of 70’s Jags etc.) but totally convinced when I saw it in the metal. They get mistaken for black at a glance unless in sunshine when the undertone of metallic / British Racing Green comes out.
As AndyK says, looks good with the light interiors. Love it, and get lots of admiring comments about the unusual colour – I think the dark colours really suit the QP (more common is deep blue, and burgundy seems as rare as green).

Yes; it's the S, so the 4.7 V8. Hard not to enjoy…

There's a thread or report on this somewhere on one of the forums. I'm not too technical but as I recall the answer is no, or at least not easily: it's not a 1 for 1 swop. I think the rears are possible but as the facelift has daylight running lights some wiring changes are needed. The fronts I think don't fit and to get the daylight running lights you have to fit add-on LEDs somewhere in the bumper (maybe someone with more knowledge can add to this?). It's expensive (certainly wouldn't be reflected in the resale value), and why bother - the old one looks just as good I think; you could change the grill I guess but again I think the old grills are nice (especially the mesh one which I think was on Exec GTs??). The main changes with the facelift were the engine (up to 4.7 for the S and Sport) and the centre dash layout and ICE which I think is much better. Personally I think cosmetic upgrades are a mugs game – better to keep the car as original as possible.
