I'm sure that's what some of you will think (looking at you Mr. Gould ) but I figured I'd post a picture of my car.
I think that looks good. The use of black in place of silver trim makes the car look more purposeful. The main thing is that you are happy with it, which I'm betting you are.michael gould said:
your car Karl is a thing of great beauty and epitomises a man of great taste .......V8andrew's wheels look like Maserati birdcage wheels and look too big in the arch .........hey but what the hell do i know
They say opinions are like ar$eholes, every one stinks except your own. I'd heard that Q by Aston Martin have recently been commissioned to build a one off walnut veneer pipe and slippers holder for a DB9 owner; sounds right up your street?Edited by V8Andrew on Wednesday 4th March 16:59

Yet, you're ok that the car comes with V12 sills? Face it, all these Aston Special Editions are parts bin amalgamations.
Like I said, it looks great. I added a bunch of parts bin stuff to my V8V. I just think the bonnet is the clear indication of what is a V8 and what is a V12 amongst all the sills, boot spoilers etc etcYou know all Aston's look the same That's a clear way normally of telling them apart!
Your car is a credit to you Karl-Franz. Not chavvy.
A while ago, IIRC, you showed a photo of your wings without headlights. Not sure what you were doing there, or is there something obvious that I have not seen?
You are known to us as a skilled engineer, who always likes to be working on improvements, that most of us dare not attempt.
What is your next project? GT3 wings would not surprise me, or a complete GT3 look-alike. Tempted?

Thanx for the kind words.A while ago, IIRC, you showed a photo of your wings without headlights. Not sure what you were doing there, or is there something obvious that I have not seen?

The bonnet was painted (at great expense) by the local Aston factory authorized repair facility. They are aware of my penchant for taking Astons apart so they suggested I could save some money in labor costs by removing and later reinstalling things such as headlights and side strakes myself.
The reason they need these removed is that, for a proper paint match, they must paint a portion of the wings as well and blend it in. This, I am told, is due to the orientation of the metal flakes in the paint.
No plans to turn my car into a GT3 at the moment.
