Vantage with Rapide Like Grill?
Has anyone ever seen this Maxton Design bumper and grill in person? Curious on your thoughts?

No. It's an Aston - please don't molest it. That would be like putting ketchup on foie gras.

Besides, the gaping maw imbalances the car (it works better on the bigger, 4 door Rapide).

Don't like it. This destroys the proportions of the car

That giant whale mouth of a front grille is the one design element I dislike about the Rapide. Don't do it.

Even so, if I could afford a Rapide S I'd buy one in a NY minute.
