DB7 with a bodykit

[amdb7]

Hmm not to sure on this one

The DB7 is easily the best looking Aston, but i don't really like this im not sure why Aston wanted to do this to it, although ther intereior is nice

When I first looked at the photo I thought it was the body kit they brought out in response to the XKR.

Offers over £33,000? That'll be £33,000 then.

Still represents plenty of bang for you buck, methinks.

[amdb7]

£33,000 is a great price, i agree. I could live with the car but i think stock form is better

Wheels yes, bodykit no.

[abarthchris]

have you seen the reg? is it nick leesons?

[forthright MC]

like the colour (very similar to my uncles DB7) but it could definetely do without the bodykit and the wheels. IMO it looks much nicer with the mesh grille and the works wheels.

It does look nearly identical to JSGs old Paramount XK-R

No wonder everyone always confused it with an Aston at first glance. Good for the Jag, not so for the Aston IMHO.

That looks like the retail park at Hamilton near Glasgow.

That kits on a few DB7's in the autotrader. Not sure if I like it or not. The wheels are a touch bling for my tastes, quality shouldnt need to shout about it.

[lydster]

Just.... Why?

That front spoiler looks like it is attatched to the original, maybe if you could remove it & put the original wheels back on it might be ok. The side skirts arent overly noticable.

Yeah i agree- the mesh grill looks nice- better than the standard one actually but i prefer the standard spoked wheels that it came with after they got rid of those terrible ones which covered the whole wheel







But if you ask me a DB7 looked its best before the Vantage and any other body modifications came along

HUH !

[amdb7]

God thats terrible, the Jag looks worse than the Aston

2 of the most beautiful cars in the world don't deserve to have this done to them!!

Don't like the DB7 but the trout looks better than the shark................

It's the same wheel - the early cars had a big (plastic) hubcap covering the spokes while later ones just had a small knave plate in the centre.

[craigw]

thats beserk, so could owners could just pop off that hubcap for the later look ?

[Andrew Noakes]

Yes, you can take them off - and many owners do.

I have one of the Dunhill DB7's, the bodykit was an optional extra, available as part the 'Driving Dynamics' kit which also included AP Racing brakes, Suspension upgrade and magnesium OZ wheels (the standard wheels had to be replaced as the calipers would foul) There was also a claimed 50 BHP engine upgrade that could be specified. These options could be added individually and I have had the Suspension upgrade but retained standard wheels - they are graphite in colour and the Dunhill's had slightly different centre caps. The wheels on this advertised car are not offered by Aston Martin.

But as for the Bodykit - I don't like it and wouldn't have it!

[haze]

I personally don't think it looks that bad, have seen a lot worse in my lifetime that's for sure.
