I have this in my V8 GT. It's actually more like a gunmetal gray than black. The photo above is taken in a dark environment. I have a friend with the brushed aluminum dash. He prefers his. I prefer mine.
The first place I became aware of this was in the Vantage V8 GT.
Does anyone have any info (e.g., a part number, cost, etc.)
Thanks in advance

I have a 2016 Vantage GT, I think if you contact Red Pants, he could get you a quote. It would not be cheap. These are some photos of my 2007 Vantage, and my 2016 GT.

I prefer the brushed silver look on MY Vantage. I have the interior carbon pack with Obsidian color so the interior already looks really monochromatic.
I'll never understand why they put a 240 speedo in a car that does 185. 200 would have been plenty and given a little extra spacing on the numbers, if I could read them. Good thing the digital display is large. I'll be using that at some point with an officer, after I turn the message to another screen ~ "look at the speedo, I have no idea how fast I'm going."
I have grown to love that last gen waterfall, I didn't like it at all for the longest time. It's so clean and uncluttered. It'll be the last pure Aston design before they had to fit an Merc screen.
The speedometer - oh my. I would have been happy with the tach right in the middle with smaller water and oil gauges that all could all be seen thru the wheel with a small digital speed indicator somewhere or not at all - LOL!

This is an area where lack of R&D shows up. The major car companies would have found out in their customer focus groups that customers can’t properly see the numbers on the speedo and changed the max number to 200 allowing larger numbers and better spacing. I do use the digital speedo, but those numbers should have been larger as well.

If it wasn't for the digital I'd have no idea how fast I'm going, I've never used the speedo. I don't mind that the numbers are small, it is very elegant and watch like, and after time you pretty much know which is 80 and which is 100. It's the amount of space between the numbers, you have no idea if you're doing 76 or 79 at a glance which is the difference in being 14 over or not. I love the look but if the digital readout wasn't there I'd have alot of trouble knowing what speed I was going.
I will absolutely use that as an excuse to an officer someday!
