create an account... search by your vin or MY... I paid the $100.US for 24hrs of access and I downloaded the 2019+ workshop into .pdf files... The site doesn't allow you to just download the content, you gotta be tech savvy to convert the pages to download. Use Chrome browser...

I'm not diggin' the wing but the front bumper/grill looks GREAT! Just like Aston should have built these new Vantages out of the box. Very nice and worth the effort and expense.

Thanks! The grille is much nicer than the hunter trim...

Yea, I'm not 100% liking the wing either.. Its a little too racing for daily driving... . I have two more I want to try before the AM wing...

Its just hung on there with velcro.... I wont drill until I find the one...

Wasn't gonna say anything til you said it was temporarily mounted. IMHO, the car looks so elegant as-is with your new grille. I hate wings on cars. Full stop.

Strangely, I think that particular wing fits well . . . I am also not a wing person, if I were in the market for a GT3, it would be the GT3 Touring; I'm coming from a 991.1 Turbo, so that has a very subtle wing. It is possible my struggle is the integrated duckbill of the Vantage, paired with the additional wing. Anyhow, doesn't matter as long as you dig it. The front grill is amazing! I really can say that I like both the normal and upgraded grill, fantastic work, thanks for sharing! KH
