Hello Vince,
As a we.d say in french : une vraie beaute, unqiue dans son genre. Plus une v8 de base, pas une v12. Mais une voiture avion, construite progressivement selon tes gouts, qui depose une v12, tout en gardant l'elegance Aston sans doute aucun. Bravo pour cette belle realisation

Thanks JDB

Yes, Sunir, it's a compliment

Well, I put the wheels and not perspiring badly.

To the front, do not worry, all is well. By cons, to the rear, the branches rub against the big brake kit. Mike had left me some shims to 6 mm, but I'm afraid to touch support, because the tire out of the wing if I line level. In short, this is the only way for now and I have not rode with. I have test today and all is ok. I asked Mike to make me spacers of 2 mm and 4 mm for testing. For cons, I'm pretty convinced by the look. Not really easy to take pictures at night, it distorts the reading light / dark.

OEM:

Wow looks great, looks very similar to the Aston GT4 Motorsport wheels. Can't wait to see some better pics in the sunlight. Definitely fits the character of the car more! Almost OEM looking

Fantastique Vince. The new paint looks very good, and I like these wheels much more than the previous ones.

looking great!

Vince,

The build continues and just gets better and better.

Those wheels look perfect, good luck with the spacers and getting rid of the rubbing.

thanks for all the updates.

Car looks excellent very V12 like
Actually that rear spoiler balances the CF of the diffuser
Might have a loo at that on mine

When installing the new steering wheel, Aston mechanic thought it was an original part Aston. Installation tip top, it really captures, I feel like another car at the "feeling" of conduct. The shape and size of the rim are really perfect.
The dial is as readable as before because the top diameter is the same.
This is a photo that does not quickly pays tribute to its fair value, but the work is beautiful and very nice texture.
