I'm been holding my comment on the new look. To be honest, I'm okay with everything you've done. The only thing I don't like is the yellow on the tires. That's a bit much, IMO. Again, though, it's merely my opinion, and we know the saying about those. Carry on!!


Oh yea, let's get those mirror shells swapped out for carbon fiber, and I believe that's it for the exterior.

It's ok, you're entitled to your view. I just don't want my car to look like every other Aston out there. Here's a comparison between my special edition and the standard offering. I like mine better.

Oh, by far, your version looks waaaaaaay better. The only thing I am not feeling is the yellow on the tire sidewalls. Although once they get rolling, I can imagine a yellow band on the sidewall that will highlight the yellow brake calipers.

How hard was to get those logos onto the tires?
Cost? Where to buy them? I could be interested to get a few in dark silver

Definitely an improvement from stock.

^^^^^ I bought it from an Aston Martin dealership. It's a genuine OEM part and, no, it wasn't cheap (is anything ever with these cars?). It still blows my mind that the bonnet on this car cost me more than my entire first car did.

BTW: The previous bonnet is in the wooden crate the new one was shipped in. That crate is huge. It's about 6'x6'x1.5' and it's currently in my foyer until I move it off to storage. Anybody want to buy a mint, new Alloro Green Vantage bonnet? It's going on eBay.

K-F with an iPhone is like Rambo with a bent spoon. He's still going to get results
