Clearly an individual of impeccable taste

 

Great Vantage, Your Car is also a unusual color combination much like mine. We also have the same split spoke rims. Does your car have the sport suspension? Nice choice on the transmission as well it's the best way to go.

Yes my car has the sport suspension. In general it's really well optioned. The roads were I live are really terrible. Freeze thaw cycles. Part of the reason I bought a Vantage is how it rides. Yea, it's a GT car, ride is firm but not harsh. Frankly I find the ride plush compared to my last car. A Porsche 997 lowered on coilovers. That got to the point I hated it, and I put really soft springs on the coilovers. I wish I lived where the roads where better. I love the suspension set up and no stupid electronically adjustable shock crap to deal with. The stock suspension tuning on this car is amazing. I think I am finished with hardcore sports car. Mind you some Porsche guy's think the 997 is a GT car?

 

Someone who knows what he's doing. That's rare! Paintwork looks good now but didn't realise paint could be that soft.

 

I took the front wheels off of the car and was surprised by how light they are. Compared to the OEM 18"ers on my Infiniti, they are noticeably lighter. Are the split spokes forged?

 

Yes they are.

 

The wheels have a finely machined face with clear coat too. It seems there are a lot of shops in the UK that refinish these kinda wheels. Around here, not so much. One of the wheels had very light curbing. Fortunately, there is a good local wheel shop that fixed it to like new condition. I didn't know anything about "Diamond turned" wheels. Thought I was gonna have to ship it to the UK to fix it!

 

Soft paint? I think it depends on the color.

Very nice.
Not enough two tone interiors out there. When done right (like yours), they just scream Aston Marin!

 

Here is my two tone interior. It is one of the reasons I bought this Vantage.
