The GT8! Carbon fibre bodied £200K 440BHP 7 Speed V8.

[AdamV12V]

The correct name is Frosted Glass Blue

[RobDown]

Yep, ithat's the one. It looks lovely in the sunlight, much more blue than mako blue which I think was used for at least one gt 12

Yup, it's a lovey colour my dealer has a mould of it so I have seen it up close for real. Would look amazing on a GT8 I'm sure and quite likely to make a unique car!

Its one of the new colours introduced this model year, MY16. It is a Q-Special colour so will be priced at £3995 for GT8 production (MY17)

I got #100 allocated! great, it was one of the 3 I originally selected together with 7 and 75

Good news apparently on the exterior visualizer, apparently will be live soon (sadly, won't be possible to visualise other than non-current palette colours)!

And to whom asked who is the supplier of the Titanium exhaust, it is not Akrapovic

Is it just Aston Martin dealers that offer this level of poor service? Or if I jump ship to McClaren will they be equally bad? Has anyone come across an Aston Martin dealer who is consistently good, returns calls, does what they say they're going to do?

Well I have never experienced anything remotely similar with JCT Leeds AM, and can honestly say they have been consistenly good with all 3 new Astons I have bought from them, - I can really recommend them.

You could always call AM and ask to move your deposit over?

I'd be amazed if an email direct to the DP didn't produce an immediate response but personally, I'd email Andy Palmer - I'd be even more amazed if he didn't ensure this was dealt with by Monday lunchtime - it's the type of thing he gets involved with, even if just to email the appropriate person within the factory with an edict that it must be dealt with and he (AP) wants a progress report within 24 hrs

Wonder of wonders, I just got a call back from the dealer (at the third time of asking this week). Apparently AM have confirmed the slot is allocated, which the sales guy I spoke to suggests a spec must have been submitted. Hopefully its the right one!. Feeling relieved, albeit a little stressed

Going to go lie down in a cold, dark room now.

Don't worry, now you can release some stress by playing with the car configurator ...and if you want to change colour, I bet you are still in time for it

That would have been me...

Thank you for the information. Do you know which firm did supply the exhaust system?

I asked for and got allocated No.77 which I'm pleased about.

Hi Will

Great to catch up last Saturday had my number confirmed this week so I have got number 8

Went for the ultra marine black with orange indents and aero
7 spoke black wheels with 5 nuts
Titanium exhaust
Got the draft of first render yesterday but was missing a few bits of orange at the front and back.
Will post the updated final one when back Monday

Any idea when delivery might be?

Regards

Graham

Graham, that looks mean and fabulous. Congratulations and bet you can't wait. When should you get it.

[RobDown]

That will look awesome in the metal

Awesome combo and photoshop skills (or is a render provided by AM?)! I am getting crazy as I can't visualise a darker green (Almond or DBR9 or AMR)...green is under-represented on the configurator.

How much they charge to have the accent on the top part of the body (Mirrors/Wing's end parts/Doors)

Hi FFM
Don't have the paint cost breakdown at the moment just my total cost...! all I know is that I had to pay extra for ultra marine black and have to pay to test the orange on the ultra marine black........
The render is from AM not done by me

Hi Graham,

Great to chat the other day, I've got to say that looks bloody good! Didn't go for the centre locks in the end? No idea on delivery yet, I'm hoping for October ish as I'm not going for halo or Q paint but it's a bit of a guess to be honest.

No did not opt for centre locks in the end it was a stretch too far on budget.

Final renders attached very happy with result now

Looks great Graham, I think you did the right thing regarding the centre locks. Roll on the 4th quarter
