The car would be more attractive to a majority of buyers without the ricer look wing.

Not a wing fan either. I like the contrast between the white body and the black wheels.

That is a real mess.

Does make you wonder why someone would buy a car that looks so good, then make it look like that. Those daft little winglets on the front are just sad and completely spoil the looks of the car from the front. As for the wing ....

Really don't buy an Aston to get the ricer look. They should sell it the the F&F franchise.

Is it an Aston Martin GT4 spec wing? It actually may be "oem" guys...

I've seen the car a number of times...it is a production GT4 wing and all the touches come together nicely when you see it live...think track car and it makes sense...owner moved on to a 458

Posted as a joke - at least I think it's a joke (and a cruel one) that anyone would do that to an Aston! Can't wait to see how this guy ruins his 458...

With the Gulf livery, racing stickers, etc, the look works. In plain white, however, not so much. I should buy it and give it a proper vinyl wrap Gulf livery again.

Are you sure that's the GT4 wing? It looks waaaay too big for the GT4 spec. The rest of the body kit is GT4, but I'm pretty sure that wing isn't.

I liked in the Gulf Colours.

Here's a better view of the car:


Gulf Colours without the Wing:

I'm not a fan of big wings except on track cars either. If the car was in another color like black so the wing didn't stick out so much I think it would look much better though.

Those winglets are OEM and come on every car...
