Interesting. I never saw these "works" items on the Aston site before, and I visit the site often. The splitter and diffuser look similar to those from RSC. Too bad they don't have close-up pictures on the Aston site.
Another works item that I wouldn't mind having is the rear camera. It's just so difficult to see behind you when you're backing up.

Some info:
The splitter/diffuser should be available here in the U.S. in a couple of weeks and the cost, according to my local dealer, is $3,855 for the set. I assume both parts are easy to install yourself.
As for the back-up camera, it appears to be an Aston Works-only option, which means the car has to be in England for installation.

Got an email from one of the AM parts guys today with some bigger versions of those pics. The rear diffuser looks really nice, like the mesh bit a lot. I'm obviously biased but not sure I would pay $2000.00 more for that than some of the existing offerings out there. Front splitter not so hot on, looks too small to make much of a visual impact, but as always these things always look much different when you get the full effect from a broader view.

Both the AM kit and the RSC kit are nice. I'm not sure about there being a $2000 difference, though. The AM kit list for $3855, so I'd imagine that could be had for less, and your kit lists for about $3000 on your website.
I agree the front lip on the AM kit is a bit small, but it does seem a bit more integrated. The mesh on the AM kit rear diffuser is nice, but I actually prefer your design on the rear. Prodrive makes a really nice front splitter...probably the best one I've seen.
Want to offer up a group buy special price?

Sorry I read that post a little quickly - thought that was just for the diffuser!
I think we would be up for a 10-up group buy on the front splitter & rear diffuser. Let me know if you are interested guys and if it seems like there's enough we'll get some prices together.
