V8 Vantage Mansory kit

We just finished installing this Mansory kit and HRE wheels on this 2007 Vantage V8. Here are some pictures. We just ordered some RSC Tuning lowering springs and we will install them as soon as they get here.

Here are pictures of the kit-

I know Mansory is a respected aftermarket, but their stuff has never really done it for me.

A little too much *bling* for me.

Looks better with the stock wheels. Exhaust tips are ridiculous...one functional tip and one cosmetic tip just like the Ferrari California. A non functional exhaust tip; back in high school are we?. Rest of the package is OK.

And one more thing...if the skirts don't have functional scoops at the rear, then they are equally ridiculous to the non functional exhaust tips.

Mansory, the paragon of good taste.....

For me, the idea of owning an Aston Martin is its timeless design with beautiful lines and that signature classic grill. Not my cup of coffee, but beauty is subjective.

Goes to show you can't improve on good design.

There is a way to make a vantage more aggressive. Aston Martin,RSC and The Vantage Collection all have body parts that "fit" the style of the car. I feel like this is a miss. It reminds me of these:

I like the idea but think it looks well 1-10. A 4.

Cons
The grill does not even match and its way too big.
Is 4 fog lights really necessary?
The tips look dumb just like the tips on the ISF Lexus.
The side skirts look way to race.
The suspension being so high makes it look like a ricer kitted out car.

Pros
The paint looks good.
Spoiler looks good.
Wheels look nice.

Maybe if Fast and the Furious 4 stars a Vantage this is the right kit, but it's a bit over the top. Much prefer the classy look of the stock Vantage.
