Mein Gott - that makes Burntout's look like the pussycat edition !!

Love the bonnet vents, love the aggressive look, even love the wheels (sorry Georgeous).

BTW, are those just standard steel discs ?? No CCMs ??

Wait 'til JohnG1 sees that carbon fibre roof 'wrap' smile

MMMMMMMMMMM..... Jockman, not quite sure pussy cat... wink

I like the car, I would and may order that carbon rear diffuser...

The bonnet... Looks awsome, but the fact its carbon puts me off, would look way better if it matched the rest of the car. Its made the car look a bit chav, Youngens in corsa's and Saxo's have carbon fibre bonnets.

I wonder if the bonnet comes in any other material other than carbon?? and if not can carbon be painted????

If it could be painted I would consider the bonnet... Like yeti has the DBS bonnet on his 9 and it looks reem.

I think as the narrator says, these parts are being used to showcase them rather than display a finished car.

I must admit, it looks pretty good!
The rear diffuser looks like the Aston Martin official Carbon Fibre diffuser to me.
I'm sure that the carbon fibre could be painted and I agree that the bonnet would look far better painted to match.

Should've dechromed too...... smile

But I do dislike the car too smile

Bonnet looks like V12V GT3.

Carbon wrap roof = naff. If it's carbon fibre I generally like it but I hate wraps. But not as much as I despise walls.

Did I just have a Michael Gould moment?

I'm sure "The Hof" would love it.

That's just one reason why I don't. frown

You lot have turned into a bunch of unadventurous, unimaginative, staid, conservative, insular, boring, judgemental, condescending, patronising, disdainful, haughty, scornful, insular, backward, superior, grumpy Victor Meldrews wink

I fully intend buying that car and posting a new picture of it daily on the forum.

Finances permitted, of course smile

Watched it without sound, but the bonnet looks like the one from the Vantage Collection

http://www.thevantagecollection.com/products_e_rac...

So it's fibreglass or carbon if you choose. So you could get the fibreglass and paint it, though my bonnet is carbon and you wouldn't know apart from the absurd lightweight of it, it'd blow away in the wind!

I like the look of the roof wrap, but agree it's pointless. It's a surpsise Aston haven't gone the carbon roof route yet a-la CSL. Maybe it's not much lighter than aluminium whereas the BeeEmm was replacing a steel roof?

Thank you. That looks like the part from a Zagato.
Bit bloody pricey though?

Think I'll save my pennies for a 700bhp version of my car instead :-)

Turned into? When were we taking awfully modified Astons in with open arms? tongue out

As far as I'm aware, we always have been Victor Meldrews biggrin
