That's not better. If they're only going to be tacking new things onto this car it's just going to get worse.

I am digging the vents, but slatted grill is needed big time!

Thanks for the context (at least it's not fake). I guess we'll have to see what happens for 2020 if anything.

Yes, it's real, it was in Palmer's twitter account.

This is Andy's personal Q spec built Vantage. It very unique and special built only to his liking. It is not what 2020 will look like.

Here are all the possible places for AM to put vents on the new Vantage hood. Most of these areas are already on the GT4 race vehicle. But here they are circled. Dr. AP's vehicle just have the top inner ones done. But the cutouts are all there. Would look great IMHO if they did the two long side ones, and the 3 small ones across the lower front.

oh,,,,, and a new grille.

Yeah watched all of those videos and he mentioned that he got all of those parts from the AM race team but that hood is not a racecar hood. So just wondering where he sourced it from!

Still looking for other options out there but this seams to be the only "street" hood out there.
