My Q Branch V8 Vantage

I decided that my V8V needed some sprucing up by Q Branch. I added the machine guns, rockets and graphics for the annual British Car Show in Honolulu, a hot rod show the following day and Cars and Coffee. The car was so popular that a picture of the car appeared in the local newspaper. Driving it on the road was crazy with the rubberneckers and cameras.
I would be willing to part with the guns and rockets if anyone wants to have some fun. The machine gun brackets fit in place of the mesh screens and the rockets screw into the license plate bolt holes.

Are those functional foglights in your lower grill?

But the original didn't have machine guns in the hood vents...they were in the front grill.

The foglights are set up as daytime running lights with LED bulbs in them. I went through several brands before I found one bright enough to match with the headlights.

My machine guns and rockets replicate the Vanquish in Die Another Day.


Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

The weapons in the hood vents on the Vanquish are not machine guns, they are auto shotguns to stop incoming rockets with pellet blasts (they look nothing like Uzis). There are a pair of machine guns in the grill on either side of the rockets.

I stand corrected. Best I could do for $65 and scrap material.

It looks awesome and the proof shows it even the newspaper thought so... I am sure people that saw it will be talking about it for a while, thanks for sharing the pics.
