Awesome center console, one minor problem. How are you going to overlay the AC controls on the CF?

Peter Wheeler, owner of TVR, once said, "if someone is intelligent enough to buy a TVR, they will be intelligent enough to remember what all the controls do"

I think that works for Aston Martins too

In fact, it is a personal choice, I wanted this piece without any writing. Moreover, as soon as you turn the ***** on the screen, the function is displayed and it is perfect as it otherwise it is duplication.

But the big update is planned for the end of the year.

This is a photo that does not quickly pays tribute to its fair value, but the work is beautiful and very nice texture.
Where can one get this steering wheel? It looks like something that should be standard issue on all Astons!

...I guess I found my answer: DCT Motor Sport?

Last monday, small passage at the dyno (reputed to be pessimistic) to be sure that the car is fine and .....all is well, thank you Mike.
483 hp and 530 Nm ¨
According to the company that owns the dyno, I can add 2 or 3% to be really fair
