Purple V8 Vantage & Black Rapide

Hey everyone,

I've been on this forum for a while now but haven't introduced myself, I own a 2010 V8 Vantage (bought new) on Nov 2009, i have 9000 km on it and it's my garage queen. I love everything about the car and i am truly obsessed with ASTON MARTIN and i will always be. I've been looking at a slightly used Rapide model 2011 with only 8000 km on it, it is black with black wheels (painted) and red interior. I fell in love as soon as i saw that car, it was meant to be mine. It was in excellent condition a lot of stuff were not used at all. Long story short i bought the Rapide and gladly still own the V8V too. I can't compare the two cars because they are totally different. The V8 Vantage is a sport fun car but on the other hand the Rapide is also sporty and fun but with elegance and luxury.

My V8V has a special color called "Riffa" with red fox interior, not everyone might like it, but i will welcome all comments.

And these are a few pics of the Rapide i got yesterday! I also added a pic of the interior from the dealership's site because i didn't have the chance to take a lot of pics yet.

Couldn't settle for that interior pic, went to the garage and snapped a quick pic.

Thank you, i appreciate it! I was between a lot of colors but ended up with this.

EDIT:

I forgot to ask, if anyone knew where i could find the round cover for the number plate frame (hitch hole) since i removed my front plate.

Like this?

Love the Rapide. Kudos for having the cojones to riff that "Riffa"; not my idea of an Aston colour, and not to my taste, but attention grabbing at any rate!

Thank you all so much!

No one knows about the tiny circle I could put to cover that hole in my bumper?

Go to your Aston dealer for the cover.
Very nice cars. Nice to see something besides black or silver.

I can get you a new toe hook cover for your Rapide. It is $35 plus $25 for painting it black. Let me know if you are interested.
