It's more likely the plate can be 'cloned' then put on another black Vantage. Then 'Stimo' might start receiving tickets from parts of the country that he's never been to.

But someone could do that on any street corner.
So I agree utter none sense.

But it's a question of numbers: a few people on the street or (potentially) millions looking on the internet. If I was looking to clone a plate, I know where I would be looking.

Anyway, whatever. Lovely car.

Stunning car, looking even better.

So if you're going to clone a number plate then you need a suitable car to put it on to start with first? Plus the obvious intent to do such a shameful thing. And if you were so inclined, I'm sure you'd find a more lucrative immoral activity on which to spend your time on? Just a thought. Black V12V still looks stunning........

Stunning! The did this beautiful detail job in only one day? There must've not been much paint correction to do. Looks like a mirror.

Congrats that looks brilliant.... Had ours done up in London in August 2012 only for Newport Pagnell to put all the scratches back in 5 months later!

yes, that is a very good point, i will be telling the dealer at service time that under NO circumstances are they to wash the car. I would rather pick it up dirty than have untrained people with dirty sponges let loose on it.

my surname is Stimson and known as stimo to many, hence why it's not st11 mox, but st11mo x =)

Chavtastic !!!

well, its better than the typical 'LBS 1' for example, which actually says nothing and is just a prod at how much loose change someone has.

edited: oh, i should have checked the profile pic first and i would have put BS1!! How pathetically typical.

Exactly what I now do after Francis prepared my car. Your Carbon Black looks stunning.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys and girls, really pleased with the outcome.

Whoops, touched a nerve there me thinks.

no, but I do think writing 'chavtastic' is just a) a little insulting and b) completely pointless on this thread, what are you aiming to achieve with a comment like that?!

Simply staggering finish!

very nice

black always looks lovely when freshly detailed ...much more so than the many shades of grey available .....

Pah! Nothing looks as good as sparkly Ceramic Grey

[RichB]

Which shade of grey is that?

I think a matt battleship grey would be a nice low maintenance option I might try on the next Aston

[RichB]

Go one better and try German battleship dazzle camouflage pattern, that way you use all of the various shades of grey on one Aston!

I'll get some fluorescent yellow paint from Delboy. That should stand out in a crowd
