I'm looking at colour options on an 09 vantage, and so far mariana blue exterior, red fox (out of range option), and a special order mahogany wood center facia seems to be looking good so far.

What do you guys think? The local dealer had to call gaydon to ensure I could get the center facia in mahogany wood as it is usually reserved for the DB9 and DBS.

Also, anybody with pictures of such a combination?

 

Great choice, I absolutely love these types of combinations. Here are some pictures of a similar one (except this is Glacial Blue 2):






Pic#3 is my iPhone wallpaper. Haha

 

I can not say I have seen an "ugly" Vantage yet .... different color combos are a nice change ... IMHO

 

Thanks for the pics. Though I must admit I'm not big on the glacial blue

Oh and I did see an ugly vantage the other day at the dealership. Some misguided bloke had sent his modded vantage for servicing. Stacked quad exhausts, a very ricey bodykit and shiny black rims.

 

Sounds like a Mansory Kit - I am not a fan but they seem to sell ...

 

That's a very rich / Italian combo. I saw an old Maserati in that kind of combo and it was stunning. Consider a roadster. Trust me, with the top down, the rich bright colors are amazing.

 

Glacial Blue looks nice on fotos but horrible in real life

 

what does mariana blue look like? does anybody have any pics?

 

I agree it will look really nice, but I tend to prefer coupes, simply due to the extra boot space and I love the look of a hardtop rather than a soft top.

I think mariana blue is actually a relatively new colour. It's a metallic dark blue, which look almost black in low light, but the metallic specks and the blue hue shows up under light. Really quite nice

I'm currently wondering if options like the front parking sensors and the premium audio system is worth it or not as well though.

 

Check out Lightning Silver...the most incredible color I've seen and would sick over red...

 

Is this mariana blue? If this is, I really like it! I got a slate blue on order, but I keep having doubts. Perhaps a change is in order.

 

I'm not too sure. I'm trying to find pictures to make sure the car looks as good in the flesh as it does in my head

What options did you get on your vantage? I'm still deciding on mine

 

exterior: slate blue
interior: sahara tan / arctic blue combo w/ cream truffle stitching, caspian blue carpet w/ tan/beige lining, tailors grey headliner
premium audio (going to further uprgrade w/ aftermarket reus system)
bluetooth
bright grill
folding mirrors
red calipers
HID headlights
piano black fascia
bypass exhaust switch (works service or dealer)
n400 side skirts

I must have spent hours in the dealer sample room spec'ing everything out. I don't recall seeing a mariana blue sample and now I'm really curious. The samples really aren't the same thing as seeing the colour on an actual vehicle. Unfortunately, slate blue is hard to find. My dealer didn't have a real life example sitting on the lot, and in photos it just doesn't look as good as when I had that shiny sample in my hand.

Put the order back in end of Nov/08, dealer said its a early Mar build.

I know I know, where's the sports pack. Don't really care for it. Found it made the vehicle a little too stiff for my back. As for the other options....heated seats in CA aren't really that helpful, who needs nav when you have a nuvi, and my foot is great for cruise control.

 

Hmm interesting choices. I'm sure it will turn out to be a nice car

I'm still unsure about the premium audio really, as I haven't heard the difference between the two. I'm not getting the heated seats either. It's possibly the worst option to even consider in Singapore, where I am.

 

I have to say, the premium sound system is amazing. With the top down, I can say that even at high revs and highway driving it sounds great. I don't have front sensors, but I think they are a good idea.
