Sorely tempted, but I do love green. What say the cognoscenti?

Don't think the yellow flash is in keeping, other than that, it's gorgeous.

The only yellow that puts me off are the mirror caps. I'm OK with front and rear, but I really like the yellow calipers.

So very hard to find a green, of any flavor, Vanquish.

Stunning apart from the yellow mirrors, they draw your eye away from the rest of the car. The front and rear yellow touches are quite subtle but the mirrors are too much.

The mirror caps look OK with the roof down - probably fade into the background of the interior. Just paint them.

Love the colour, and the yellow callipers. I think the wing mirrors and bumper bits would look better in plain black or body colour though.

Sort the mirrors and you have a stunner. I like the other yellow touches, just not the mirrors.

Ok then, have the dealer replace the mirror caps with the CF variety and good to go, with the front and rear yellow bits left alone for the time being.

Now to see if I can make this happen...

Hope you get it. Will this be yet another addition to your stable?

Not an addition, but a replacement for DB7. A tough nut to crack on several fronts, however...

Very lovely. Don't care for the yellow bits as mentioned, but that's sortable. Good luck!

Paint the yellow bits (including front and rear spoiler) and that's a fantastic car.

Fixed that for you. biggrin

Although i think changing the mirror covers for the carbon ones is a good idea.

What George has said only addition, I'd go for c/f mirrors and bumper bits.
