Hi Guys/Gals,

My buddy Nick David at the Vantage Collection just reached out to me with some renderings of 2 different designs he is working on for a rear diffuser for the Vanquish. Wanted to throw it out to you guys and see which one you prefer?

Option 1:





Option 2:

Option 1 looks like a Meccano bolt on - no thanks
Option 2 looks better but still looks chavvy
Option 3 must be better than both 1 and 2

Option 1&2 might sell in some African and South American markets where they are very fond of gold spinners on their wheels

Ian Callum was allowed free reign, that's why it is so perfect.
It should not be messed with. Even the S is slightly less than the original!

I'd also go for leave it as is! Clear rear lights on a Vanquish just look wrong too imo.

2 is less bad than 1. But option 3 for me, too, I'm afraid.

Would need to see 2 pictured on a car, may be too much for a Vanquish. As its that high off the ground would it do anything for the aero or is it just looks.
Agree, clear lights dn't look good on the Vanquish.
My vote is for option 0 at the moment - leave it as default!

I think that's the same as Option 3! biggrin I agree; a better option than either is to leave it alone, though I assume at least some customers must be asking for them (i.e. there's a preceived market).

But I do like Abe's trim around the rear lights.

Always thought the rears lights are the only parts letting down the Vanq near perfect design,as on the DB7.Would much prefer a white lights conversion IMO.Not fan of any of the options spoiling the classic lines of the car.

I think it says "I may grow old but I'll never grow up"
