I agreed but Karl can't do that as it needs paint rather than vinyl frown
Not necessarily paint, but a faded effect on the vinyl. Tony came up with a printing solution (earlier in the thread).
I like my stubby (stripe, that is)smile

Not a fan of the faded stripe it looks like it's trying too hard.
Still not sure if any stripey thing suits an Aston.
Anyway Tony likes the faded stripe which probably rules it out for most discerning people. wink
As KF has done it would be enough for me.
Regardless the car looks great.
As always it's down to the owner.
I agree. I think that adding any more yellow would be too much. You will never get everyone to agree in our "design by committee" exercise here. My original design goal was to add a little more yellow than just the brake calipers without adding the factory graphics pack (which included the bigger full lipstick, mirror covers and a-pillars that I didn't like). I'm happy with the result for now.

I still have to install the carbon splitter and diffuser that are sitting in boxes at home. I was going to start doing that two nights ago and then realized that Aston changed the design of the wheel well liners a little. Starting with the S you now have to remove the large metal rear undertray to get access to one single last bolt that holds each liner in place. It was getting a bit late so I decided to postpone the project to another day since both front and rear bumper will have to come off the car.

KF, I think your car would look absolutely stunning without any yellow on it smile......love the blacked out window surrounds.

Ignore me though, I'm very boring.
So what you are saying is that you are the target market for the flood of tungsten silver with obsidian black cars that are in the market?smile

I love that grille. Anyone any experience of fitting one to a 2014 MY V8VS?

Costs?

Would look great with the C/F splitter.
The grille is extremely pricy. It costs almost $7,000US. I bought mine through my dealership. Installation is relatively easy on any Vantage.
