Black Wings

[V8 Animal]

I didn't know but do now that all the wings are not the same.
Mines black not green.
Useless info but I thought I would share.
Unless I'm wrong that is?

That's interesting. There is a list of wings here: http://www.astonmartin.com/en/heritage/aston-marti...

But it sounds like you're saying even post-2003 cars may have different colours.

And the trim ring 'round the steering wheel center is black not silver as in green badged cars.

Not all DBS wings are black...

Are the other badges green too?

Yes, all badges are green. A factory 'change order' at build time so as to match the exterior color.
