The first dyno pulls were with the factory power pack, 200 cel cats, x pipe, and the Quicksilver sport exhaust. Before the tune it showed 335 hp. 285 torque.

I spent the last few days cleaning her; wheels off, clay bar, polish, shine. I did the X5 too.

Traded my 15 GT with a 15 V12S

Today I signed the paperwork to trade my 2015 GT with a Black V12S the one at Napleton AM - I have a two year extended warranty... still have not decided to keep the V12 wheels and sell my current ones with Michelin PSS (see picts) or transfer the old wheels to the New V12S and sell the Aston Wheels... feedback?

Please look into 22ple glass coatings. There are other brands, but that is the one I always use. USE this on all wheels on both cars. You obviously love keeping the cars and wheels clean, but this will work 100x better than the wheel wax you use. Also, only need to re-apply about 2-3yrs down the road and easier to clean. Also easier to apply and remove.

I can always help get professional level polishes, tools, etc... at a good price, save you a few bucks and you get high level equipment. Just pm me. Wont make a penny, thats not the purpose. Purpose is to help provide the AMs with the best care possible.

Well that is a nice upgrade. Are you tired of us common V8 folk?

Aren't the V12's wider? I'd at least try the Corsa's out and make your decision then.

V12 wheels 9.5" front and 11" rear with different offsets and 35 profile front tyres and 30 profile rear

V8 wheels won't look good on V12 as I think they will sit too far under the guards (about 1/4 inch at front and 1/2 inch at rear I'm guessing - based on just putting V12V wheels on my V8)
