Speccing of Aston

[rpgk]

Hi guys I have posted this on the AMOC site as some of you may be aware but as some of you don't look there thought I would post here as well!

I recently went to Gaydon on the AMV8 visit and have provisionally specced my car. Could you guys let me know what you think!

I am not keen on Silver/Grey cars as my last few have been and I want something different, but equally I do not want something too individual that could make it harder to sell later, so if you wouldn't mind could you tell me what you think.

I have gone for an individual colour - Ferarri Tour de France Blue on outside (Felt it was more metallic than standard midnight blue) with monotone Caspian Blue leather inside with Beige coarse stitching, caspian blue carpets and Ivory alcantara head lining.

However I am considering have duo-tone interior, with blue as first colour and sandstone as second colour, for the seats and door panel.

But, having done this I am now questioning my choice of a blue interior at all. I guess I'm not sure how good Blue and blue will look. I can't opt for blue with cream interior as dash will be covered in cream leather too and Aston advise against this as it will give bad reflections on windscreen. So I am now thinking of either an all black interior (with perhaps grey stitching) or an all grey interior (but doesn't grey look a bit 'plasticky'.

As always, incredibly indecisive.

I have got a couple of photos too, which I do not know how to post but you could try following link below.

DID YOU SEE THE MIDNIGHT BLUE CAR ON LINE WITH THE TWO TONE BLUE INTERIOR. THAT IS QUITE STUNNING.
ALSO TORO RED WITH ALL BLACK INTERIOR AND RED STITCHING, LOOKS PRETTY CLASSY.

I ordered a two tone interior as well, the guys at the factory tried to convince me otherwise...

Did you get thay feeling too?

I think you should go for it, else all the cars coming from the factory will be clones of each other, its your car, do what you want and enjoy it.

When I was speccing mine they suggested the 2-tone doesn't work as well as it does on the DB9 etc. However, there wasn't one there with the 2 tone so I couldn't pass judgement. I opted for single colour interior.

I very nearly went for blue exterior and blue interior and really I think it would work well (so, suggest you stay with it!). The downside, might be resale but it should still look stunning enough for someone to be interested IF you really want to sell it eventually.

Just about every car being specced seems to be either one of the many versions of grey, silver or black. That's why I went for the red!

Personally, I don't like light coloured interiors, Aston's Sandstone in particular.

My car's blue with blue leather (not an Aston, but hey!). If I'd specced it I'd go for black leather (including the dash) and maybe use silver stitching as a highlight.

I know you're not keen on silver, but I love Aston's Oyster Silver (has an almost gold/brown tint). That with a black interior and piano black wood would be
