So what have you done with your Aston today?

Treated the car to a some Michelin Pilot Supersports, a secondary cat delete, some carbon mirrors, a mini detail from a local detailer, and of course a blast round the country lanes to scrub the new tyres
Looks stunning! You liking the PSS? Maybe a little more compliant/less aggressive than std but find them far more planted, safer and grippy...and if it rains they are a revalation... Just a bit of 'cheap' pipe in place of secondary cats - do report back!Ken Figenus said:

I mainly got rid of them because of rain and standing water situations. I was driving last Thurs in the rain and spinning the wheels at 40-50 mph.
PSS are a good all rounder I think and seem to fill the arches a bit better which is nice.
Secondary cat makes the car sound wonderful in the cabin, even with the windows up!

Who can I hand over some money to right now? Drove away and took a couple of roundabouts at a brisk pace, butterflies and adrenaline! Not many cars can make me feel like that!
Go and see http://www.davidapplebyengineering.com with £500 in your pocket.
Your car will be finished before you have finished your cup of tea! And they are lovely people too!
Ooohhh - remove that 30Kg mass at the back and add 10bhp "really let your Aston scream with these straight through rear exhaust pipes"

Now that would be so silly but such fun.
BR and Appleby both have the far more sensible secondary cat delete options - both at £600 fitted.
Xmas is coming early!

Put a carbon front splitter on and some carbon side strakes
Wing Mirror Cover next and some side sills (V12 or V8)
Not 100% on the spoiler yet, its better than the big one that OyaCarbon do, however I would prefer the front spoiler to follow the curve of the bumper rather than either stop as the one I have or curve all the way round and stick out..... Hmmmm
Might see what else I can find
The other OyaCarbon one below for reference.
See what I mean about them sticking out
