A few of us on here have driven Prodrive's modded car and it's been dicussed here at length - do a search and you'll prob. find what you need.

Prodrive have asked me if I want to have one of the first conversions fitted to my car, so I guess this has not started yet. I am holding off for a while as am still really enjoying the car as it is (1.5 years in), I may go for it once (and if ever) my enjoyment starts to lessen. Their red car was down at Le Mans doing the rounds, it passed the pub a few times making a nice burble, personally I don't like the front splitter, or the rear spoiler, or the wheels, and I am really not sure if I need the suspension, but an extra 45 ish BHP will never go a miss.

The problem with the Prodrive conversion is we all know that "sometime" shortly Aston will launch their own official Vantage "S" power upgrade/new model, so most will be sitting on the fence waiting to see what price & spec this will be unveiled with!

We have already started fitting the Performance Package, Wheels & tyres and Aero packages. The suspension will be available in a couple of months.

Two customers took their cars to Le Mans last week and our Development and Press cars went as well so we had a fair contingent down there.

The Red car will be at Goodwood FOS this weekend being driven by David Richards amongst others.

From what I have heard, it is meant to make quite a difference!
