Anything carbon is good smile

I think both spoilers look good, I just think that a mix of the 2 might be better i.e the end of it tucks into the bumper.

Excuse the poor photoshop!





PS...... I think I need to get a 6 Bar Grille like yours, makes the front end look a lot better

I wasn't sure on the Oya splitter either when it was first put on but love it now, couldn't imagine the car without it. I was also surprised how it clears speed bumps and car park ramps.

Vesuvius gone to BR, her home from home; High time she enjoyed a well deserved health check, that she's still pumping out every single one of those scrumptious 580 bhp's.

Being dozy, didn't notice the fuel gauge. Had "Less than 40 Miles to Empty" flash up on the dash.
Was on a motorway I don't use often, but knew I'd just passed a service station.
So, used the Aston Sat Nav function to Look Around Car and find the nearest petrol station. Directed me off at the next junction to the nearest petrol station - panic over
I know the graphics are crap and the female voice sounds like someome from the Gestapo, but it does work, especially if you have the updated discs.

Well yesterday we drove from Casters to Avignon via the Mullau Bridge and today we drove down to St Tropez and on to a villa in Antibes, daytrip into Monaco tomorrow before heading to Rapallo in Italy and the on to Lake Como for a few days. These V8 Vantages do make exceptional GT cars.....

I hope you enjoyed St Tropez. I live here, drop me a pm next time and we'll have a drink or two! Lots of Porsche's and Ferrari's down here but surprisingly few Astons.

Is that cos they're made in England,,,,tongue out More likely because they lack the flamboyance of their continental cousins.

Lots of British cars, mostly Range Rovers, the proper ones and the lesser ones. Astons are probably too subtle, they like flash cars down here.

Typically British, understated.

So far we've only seen 3 other Astons, a French registered DBS and British registered DB9 in St Tropez, and another V8 Vantage in Monaco this morning. Loads of the dancing donkey fiats, and I lost count on 911 beetles, so the Astons are certainly proving to be the coniseours choice down here. Let's see if that changes tomorrow when we hit Italy?
