New V12VS (manual) - Colour/Spec decisions
Discussion
Flugplatz said:
Well, that all moved pretty fast and my wheels are now sold and my Zagatos will be fitted next week 
and yes, I "Pretty much" did.
well, my only slight moan is I was looking forward to showing off my V12V on Zagato wheels, but mines away for a few weeks, so you'll beat me to it!! and yes, I "Pretty much" did.
Following a quick chat with Flugplatz and then Dave, I am pleased to confirm that I have now snapped up the other (last) set of Zagato's and will also be taking delivery next week. I've decided to fit them as they, DT face with gloss black inners.
Just need to wait 6mths before I can fit them to my car!
The spec of the Green Machine is coming along nicely now.

Great decision, and HTH Can't wait to see it.
Cheers guys for all the positive comments!
I'm very excited now - the wheels were the last major item to resolve. I hesitated a bit yesterday with the whole ebay thing, but moved quickly today to secure the last set folling info from Q below, and I am very happy with the choice and the cost.
So just to update on a couple more Q spec items which have come in today:

So just to update on a couple more Q spec items which have come in today:
- Zagato Wheels - unavailable for std customers (i.e. non-Zagato) to ensure exclusivity - hence I decided to jump and buy the others. (Prob not the whole truth - more like there are none left sir, but....)
- Std 10 Spoke Wheels painted in black gloss - £495 (A very reasonable and temping price but decide to go Zag!)
- Alcantara Headliner in duo inner/outer colours - Was £695, but now re-assessed and reduced to £495 (A little happier so decided to go with it)
- Pure Black alcantara gear gaiter with Lime Green Stitch - £370
A couple more Q updates today as spec-final day draws near - in fact I was intending to do it today, but more questions raised their head at the last minute, so need another day or two to reflect.
Also improved the combo of the gear gaiter / stick to include Q stitch, again at no change in cost, and finally added in a custom ECU pouch with lime stitch for just a minor uplift over the std one.
- Alcantara dash previously quoted at £695 now confirmed as NOT including any contrast stitching (as is NOT included on Sport-Pack Plus either). In reality this is just 3 short vertical runs as the rest of the stitch is either part of the instrument binnacle or the centre stack, but was a little disappointed to hear this. Q requoting to include the contrast stitch, so will make up my mind after hearing this.
- Seat/Door Stripes in either Obsidian Alcantara or Lime Green Leather : £995 Pretty crazy price, so will be sticking with no cost Pure Black Leather stripes.

OK, we are done - the order is loaded and locked in!
Exterior is Q Kermit Green paint with CF bonnet vents, side strakes and a gloss black roof, tailgate and mirror caps. Interior is a combo of Pure Black Leather and Alcantara, Lightweight seats, with just enough Q Lime green stitch and a few other little custom Q touches as per various posts above.
So now just the 4 month wait for build and delivery - estimate Sept.
A HUGE thank you to both Mark and Max at JCT Leeds for their patience with my endless requests, support with my colour choice and just putting up with the number of visits over the last few weeks. I really can't recommend these guys enough, just a great dealership and really make buying an Aston feel as special as it should. Also a massive thank you to Amy at Q, for her perseverance with my constant stream of slightly revised special requests, many of which I haven't taken forward, but some of which I have and I feel are going to make the car feel that little bit more special still.
Oh and thanks to all you guys on PH for listening, posting some great ideas and feedback and just for sticking with me through it all.
Right, I'm off out for a beer or two to celebrate!

Did u leave in leather or get it alcantared ?
Just left it in leather as I have quite a good mix already of leather and alcantara. Alcantara will be on full dash area and steering column (with leather upper IP and binnacle), door panels (with leather stripe), seat inners (leather outers) and gear gaiter (leather knob), so I was happy with no cost option to keep the main centre console stack in leather. All in all, I hope I will have achieved a really sporty 50:50 blend of leather / alcantara, all in pure black with lime.So, I'm afraid its one of the bits I didn't ask for a cost on, but it's always worthwhile you enquiring with Q if you are even partially interested.
