V8 Vantage S Photos



















I drove to a couple nearby small towns north of Leander (TX) yesterday and took some shots of the 2013 Vantage S that I got earlier this spring.

gorgeous car! It makes me want to black out my grill and wheels too!

IS the grille CF or painted? If painted is it gloss, flat or satin? I'm planning to wrap and leaning towards a satin black but just wondering.
Thanks.

Chris, I believe the grill is a satin paint--came from the factory like this. The wheels were powdercoated by the dealer for the original owner.

I had to go out to the garage and peek under the car cover to see the front grill more closely. The horizontal slats are just black plastic, so I imagine they came out of the mold like this--the color is a satin black, so that part of my earlier remark still stands!

The slats in the Aston signature grille are not made of plastic; they are metal. Only the vertical separator combs are plastic.

I really like how it looks without the window trim blacked out which is the way I plan to do mine.
