now being told it's photoshop

not that it really matters - the finished one will look nigh on identical

afraid manual simply won't happen, I suspect even works would struggle.....
Which bit is photoshop Jonby. Just the splitter or the whole thing

apparently the whole thing - someone posted it up on twitter at the same time as the OP in this thread so I figured the timing made sense, but then beefmeister told me it's a photoshop that's been doing the rounds

Not sure in this instance it matters - we've seen spy shots of the car hood up and plenty of open versions of Gaydon cars so I can't believe the real thing will look much different

Doesn't do soft tops or flappy paddles
Besides he is a great advocate of MTFU so ought to be up for it wink

A good representation of things to come but definitely photoshopped. Look at the size of the quarter light against the A pillar, that just isn't right.

One out of two isn't bad Michael smile

I can't see any reason why a good bodyshop wouldn't be able to paint the carbon splitter on a 310quish anyway. Now we've seen how good it looks, I wonder if anyone will have it done..?

I have to say having seen a coupe in that colour with the unpainted lip I'd be getting it painted
I suspect Q would do it if requested?

Great photoshop. The fron looks much better in single/body color!

Still pity about the small fixed side windows (see earlier remark about the spyshot pic on this forum), the DBS Volante does not have this side small window, and looks therefore stronger from the side imho.

And indeed, then only a manual, and it would be tempting! :-))

The centre dash / console just isn't conducive to accomodating a manual, so I think it's safe to say that this wont ever be an option. I had a vanquish for the day recently and as good as the paddle shift is, a manual would be fantastic. No doubt.
