All for now! These are all iPhone pics, Ill take some proper photos soon!

(oh does it look stock height? I think it might have lowering springs and the PO didn't know, because it looks like it might be a little lower?)

 

Nice. Looks clean. Hard to tell if it's lowered from those pics. Need a side shot. I wasn't looking for a tungsten car in particular, but I love the color. Depending on the light it will look more dark silver (dark light) or sand color (sun). Enjoy.

 

Congratulation for the acquisition of the most beautiful car ever build!

She looks stunning!

 

Thanks guys! Here is a side shot showing the ride height a little better. It's not slammed but it looks lower than others I have seen online..

 

for some reason i tend to like the stock wheels better than the sport package one that i have on.

but grass is always greener on the other side right? nice to see another Tungsten Silver fella. the paint definitely changes color according to the surrounding and time of day when the light hits.

 

Beautiful car. Congratulations and enjoy the ride!

 

Thanks, LA and Seattle guys! I live in LA and work in Seattle a week every month

howzz1854- I really like these stock 19's also, however, I would be happy to trade engines if you are interested =)

 

you mean the wheels? the engines are the same. i don't have the S, just regular Vantage with Sports package, which has the upgraded five spoke and suspension.

you can see mine here:

the paint looks more light/bright liquid metal under 12'oclock sun light, but more brown liquid at 3pm, and darker grey in shadow.

 

Isn't yours a 4.7 though?


You are very right on the paint, under direct sun the silver and metallic flake really stands out!

 

Welcome to the club, I love the color of your Vantage. Looks like you have all of the good options. I loved my 2007 Vantage as well. What dealer are you going to use? We need some interior pics as well. You can get a list from Aston Martin of what is on your car as well, from a dealer, and also a reprinted Window sticker.

Thanks, I was hoping I could get a reprint of the window sticker, that is great news. I am undecided on the dealership, I need to find one because there is one recall issue I need updated, but I will probably do the annual servicing myself. I have a lift and am pretty mechanically capable (I build custom motorcycles in my spare time so have lots of tools at my disposal).

Anyone recommend the best Aston dealer in the LA area?

 

oh yeah you're right, i totally blanked on your year. i was looking mainly at the pictures.

for dealership, i like Galpin better. they tend to have a better review and price than Beverly. but this is my subjective opinion. and i've only dealt with Galpin.

maybe you and i can meet up locally for a cars and coffee. just don't end up side ways on the way out.

 

you can also look up VelocityAP's website and find authorized VAP dealer. most of those VAP authorized dealers will do services. but for regular services, i plan on taking it back to the exotic dealership where i got it from. since as a customer of theirs they give an extra discount on services.

 

I would love to! What is your favorite C&C?

I have the car in Oregon now and have it ready for the trip home

 

i've actually never done a C&C, i've just always heard about idiots leaving C&C and end up side ways on the way out. so my goal is to not end up like one.

i am usually around the Burbank and Santa Monica area. mostly Burbank. i wonder if that Bob's Big Boy place would be good. they always have cool classics parked outside. i am sure they'll appreciate a couple nice Astons. i am not aware of any British restaurants locally.
