Zagato wheels on V12VSR...

[Flugplatz]

The standard lightweight S wheel and the Zagatos are near enough identical in weight
Both a bit over 9kg for the fronts and 11kg for the rears.

I think ultimately I will go satin black to return the S Stealth look but for the summer Im going to run them as they are


I think they work in Satin too...

Just a bit off topic but interested in views about wheel colour. By the way I really like the zagato wheels on your car. As always different opinions and tastes make discussions. I'm not sure the black wheels disappear into the general darkness of the tyres.

Do you have the 24crt gold bonnet wings?

[DocW]

Yes I thought the gold looked good on the storm black. I did originally have the milled carbon fibre badges but they did merge into the general blackness so off they went!

Don't still have the carbon ones do you?

[DocW]

Sorry no, I put them on my n430 stealth and sold it. I don't know if someone on here bought it but it must be the only one with that combination.

You beat me to it!!!

I want a value set too

[DocW]

Just checked if there are any for sale. £1300 each !! and I gave two away. Being Scottish this may take years of therapy.

In fairness I think they are £1300 a pair, not each but yes... Mind you the gold ones are £800 a pair I believe, so...

[DocW]

Adam, I wish you were right and I would feel a bit better but on Astonmartin Bits its £1300 for one.

Thanks, just priced up ten sessions and it's the same price as those bloody badges.

Price from my local dealer...

'Carbon bonnet and boot badges are (are you sitting down?) £973.06 plus VAT each. It took a while to find a part number as we’ve never done any other than on a carbon edition Vanquish and they were factory fit. Total with VAT for the pair would be £2335.34. They just go on with two sided tape I think so it wouldn’t be a big job to fit them. If you want to order some let me know.'

[DocW]

Excellent thanks, you will recognise me at Burghley, I'm the one in a balaclava with a screwdriver looking for a black n430.

Why?

is there any logic to this price at all?

[northernmedia]

Nope. No logic whatsoever. Hence me not buying them
Course, when is anything Carbon cheap from AM?

Got this on my Instagram feed, still can't see the huge attraction in carbon.

quite agree - they look like the finish has worn off on the CF wings
