I purchased a set of V12VS clear lights with the black finish border together with the AM Carbon Fibre inserts as a change from the current red lights on my V8VR.
Shortly after this a set of AM Carbon Fibre door handles came up for sale, so these together with the Black finish exhaust tip finishers hopefully will all be getting fitted soon.
The Black finish should all tie in nicely.

I have added some more new Black items to my original post
Just bought a set of 19" Satin Black Lightweight forged alloys from AM Works that came off a brand new V12 Vantage S
Getting everything fitted in the next 2 weeks will report back with the finished results to my V8 Vantage Roadster

The car started off like this 3 years ago when I bought it
This is how the car currently looks, but the next phase of the upgrades starts on Saturday with the V12VS clear lights, the bottom section of the bootlid is being painted Piano Gloss Black.
The bumper had to be removed for the rear diffuser, but I don't think this is required for the exhaust tips.
The door mirrors are being removed and powder coated gloss black since the existing paint is flaking off, whilst the door card is off they will fit the Carbon Fibre door handles.
The Satin Black V12VS lightweights will be fitted complete with new Pirelli PZero tyres after the bodywork is finished.
All thats left after this is to sell the existing V8 Vantage S alloys and tyres

So, an update after completion of all the work to my V8 Roadster.
The Black graphite exhaust finishers I bought did not fit the older style bumper, so the existing exhaust finishers were powder coated gloss black
The rear boot lid was painted piano gloss black by the AM approved bodyshop
The V12S clear rear lights and AM carbon fibre inserts were fitted
The AM carbon fibre door handles were fitted
After completion at the AM bodyshop the car was then at the tyre shop for the new wheels and Pirelli P Zeros to be fitted
Finally finished
All that's left to do now is sell the V8VS alloys and tyres, Black graphite exhaust tips and the non AM carbon fibre rear light inserts
