Yeti, do you think you could bastardise the Virage sills to fit the V8V.
Now there´s a challenge for you
The Virage sills follow a line into the Virage valance... very nicely executed and neither would work without the other... Bit like having EITHER a DBS bumper or DBS sills, one would look daft without the other. Yeti, do you think you could bastardise the Virage sills to fit the V8V.

I agree the V8V needs a a more purposeful valance/bumper to go with any bolt-on sills...
For whatever reason, I love the V12V sills. I considered having them installed on my V8V before I bought my V12V. They look really aggressive and, after seeing them, the original sills look a bit plain. However, looks like I'm in the minority.
Between the N420 sills and the original sills, I would stick with the originals. I personally don't like the way the N420 sills flip upward toward the rear wheels.

I think the original design is as perfect as it gets. Like many great designs, fiddling with it makes it less perfect (still gorgeous, just not quite as). The extra stuff adds clutter to a beautifully clean shape. To me, the original sills best show the Vantage's curves. The upward-curving line on the N400 sills seems unresolved to me, as it aims for the wheel arch, but doesn't flow into it. I think the V12 looks great, and its extra aggression suits the more aggressive looks, but I don't think it looks as good as the original V8V. IMO, the original V8V strikes the perfect balance of elegant sportiness and aggression.
