Spotted this outside the Arlberg in Lech today, so much bad taste I'm embarrassed to be British!

Is it Matchbox or Corgi?

Was that some kind of metallic effect wrap?

Curse my eyes...

Having said that, I want a Cygnet but at £4k, not £40k. But in lightning silver or one of the nice light green shades...

I hate to say it but I actually like that colour..... not saying i'd have it but it reminds me of something the teenagers of the 80's would have around ones neck.... would go very nicely with a baseball cap whistle

I have seen that car in the flesh as it were, ghastly, utterly ghastly. It was for sale at something ridiculous like £80-90k as well for basic spec 2005 DB9. It isn;t even a good wrap.

The Cygnet I like. It's a fun car trying to be fun smile

It was on eBay a couple of weeks back for £65k I think. Still stupidly overpriced.

The gold on the Cygnet looks so bright and out of place, almost looks 'shopped

It called over-embelishment.

Not shopped, hurt my own eyes, there was a Mercedes off road experience going on outside the same hotel. Sad to see that parked next to some nice German metal.

Really.... What type of person does that to any car let alone an Aston..

The Cygnet can get away with it as its just a Toyota, but the chrome wrapp on the DB9??? I have seen a 911 in Weybridge done the same and that looked crap too.

I really like car wrapps but not in these colours... hurl

Looks like a 'factory' car to me from the Reg no. I think I am right in saying the good Dr. frequents The Arlberg (lovely place stayed there a couple of years ago)and also the AM Skis were 'launched ' at an event there too.
