I'm almost embarrassed to say. It's a 2006 on which I had vinyl wrapping done to simulate a later rear bumper. I also blacked out the front grill, roof, and window surrounds and added the Union Jack to the rear in vinyl wrap. The side skirts were installed and color matched to look more like the V12. All the mods were performed so that I could return the car to bone stock within a day.

I have closer pictures of res of the rear earlier in this same string.

Great! Did you get OEM v12 skirts?

Did you spray the grill?

Yes, definitely OEM side skirts. A friend bought after market skirts and they were horrible - so much so that in order to get them to fit properly, the labor costs would have been greater than the cost of OEM. I took those horrible side skirts back to SoCal for him and picked up 3 OEM pairs from Vcollections- 2 V12 style and one N400 style for friends. Within one week we all had them painted and installed. They came out beautiful.

Surprisingly, you can black out the front grill with 1/8 inch black pinstriping. Just cover the leading edge of each grill slat and the grill will appear black. Simple. I used simulated carbon fiber striping. Blacked grill. Gray Vantage is also 2006 but with N400 style side skirts and custom vinyl wrap side stripes.

Very nice looking car, I would say 06-08 due to the red lens in the rear and current wheels, the rear bumper is a wrap to look like a 13-up and he added some V8S/V12S side sills. Very tastefully done

Ooops didn't notice the other tread... Very nicely done either way

Hello All - I'm new to the group just picked up a 2012 Virage Volante... been a dream of mine to own an Aston Martin since I was a child & finally the day has come. Been a long search but was able to find a one owner car with only 6900 miles. Beyond excited to get on the road with the new dream car :-)!!!

alextse88 - Congrats on the Virage, great to see another one in the Bay Area :-) With a break in the rain now, I'm looking forward to getting out around Napa with the top down.
