New Vantage owner, saying hello! (Also QS exhausts info)
Discussion
Sorry for the poor quality picture, but I finally got round to having my wheels re-coloured and fitted to the car. Unbelievable happy with the change to the car, it's exactly what I wanted (I was originally looking for different wheels, but I fell in love with these Vantage S ones).
I'll be getting it detailed, the gloss black roof (to match the alloys), some red calipers and hopefully a silver mesh kit. Then I might finally be finished with the cosmetic mods. Maybe.

Picked my car again today after the latest sets of mods. The work was done by an excellent mechanic, whom I believe is a fellow PHer. Thanks Gerry!
Brake calipers had a full refurb, followed by powder-coating red, with black lettering. The handbrake calipers were adjusted too, to get rid of a low-speed squeal.
All of the mesh kits (bonnet, sides, lower front and 3 rear meshes) were removed and repainted bright silver. They look absolutely stunning and really stand out in the flesh.
After all of that, the car was dropped off with a detailer for the week to have an enhancement detail (as recommended by our resident expert, cheers!) with interior detail, wheel protection, and a gloss black vinyl roof wrap. Once it's all done next weekend, that should finally be the end of the cosmetic mods (final photos to follow). Then it'll be time to enjoy it as the Summer approaches
Performance mods may follow in the future....

It's finally finished! Just picked it from the detailer, who did a fantastic job. Again, absolutely no affiliation to this business, just want to give praise where it's due. Nick at Detail My Car in Newbury did an enhancement detail with CQuartz coating, interior detail, wheel protection, and the gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof panel. Nick really was superb, sorting out a couple of issues with the wheels and working around my schedule to get it all done.
Obviously cosmetic mods are a personal choice, but I'm extremely pleased with the way it's all come together, from the wheels to the calipers to the mesh kits to the roof etc, plus all the interior mods. Time to enjoy it now, but a big thanks to all those that have worked on it

The wheels really show off the calipers and the contrast with the grilles looks great. I like the black roof too, I don't see anything you have done so out of the norm to worry about at all.
The finish looks superb from the detail. Congrats, now you can really start to enjoy it. It may even stop raining.
