I am considering changing the color of the brake calipers. The grey just disappears. Leaning towards yellow. Any opinions?

 

In my opinion, yellow wouldn't look good. I think it'd clash with the tan interior. I have black on mine and it looks great. You'll get a nice contrast between your calipers and wheels, and it'll match your car.

 

Wow that is SEXY!

I think yellow would be a weird contrast given the interior, exterior, and trim colors. Perhaps white?

 

White would look dirty most of the time. I think the gray looks fine. You could go for polished silver, black or red, but I would save the money since it looks good as is, imho.

 

EZ....stay w the gray calipers...if not then try a light blue like the BMW M caliper color. Red or yellow just won't work with the rest of your car, to overwhelming for the rest of the car's color palette.


Karl do you have the v12 or V8? love the car, I'm not too familiar with it's specifications it looks like a track model, no?

 

You're killing me, smalls. Very first post from the link I posted:

 

Okay I had to Google it because all I wanted to know was 2-3 letters ...V8 or V12 ...


found out the car's specifications.


Reason for asking....Karl's car has the bonnet of the V12 Vantage so I thought it may have been some sort of special edition GT.


At a 100 grand it's a good car, especially since it comes with the same V8 engine as the standard $132K Vantage plus it has some cool colors and accents. Any idea of how many they plan to build of these. And for heaven's sake if you know the answer just answer it nobody has time to go thru 11 pages on another thread

 

Actually, it's a very special edition GT. Only one made like this.

But even a standard GT is closer to a Vantage S than a V8.

FYI: People shouldn't be fooled by the bait of a $100K Aston. That is simply the starting price. Prices rise very quickly with options. Starting price for Roadsters is even more as is the Sportshift gearbox. All said and done, my car was Vantage S money; especially when you consider the hood and all the carbon.

 

That's one sweet car you've got there Karl !! You specified the hood and other bits at time of ordering? That's nicely bespoked then, well played sir!


Any custom Karl Franz DIY mods to come on this one?

 

You know that 20+ page thread you were talking about...?

 

LOL...


As homer Simpson would say..."DOH!"


Ya got me Karl !!!

 

Glad to see you went with the Brixtons! I see you went with the R10 with the Monaco lip, whereas I went with the Monoseries. Seriously looks amazing!

 

Oh man EZ that is nice. What's the skinny on the spoiler?

 

Actually Ellipsis they are the Targa series with the hardware hidden. They are the new 2015 version with floating spokes.

EspritNoob I got the carbon fiber spoiler from RSC Tuning. I believe they are board sponsors here. The Vantage S coupe has a raised tail but the Vantage S Roadster did not, so I decided to add one.

 

Thank you!
