Very nice, looks much better fitted. V. jealous of Monte Carlo run - was due to go this year, but family wedding duties call.

That looks really good Yeti smile

The green gaiter just tops it off nicely, only thing I'm not sure of is the gearstick, personally I prefer the DBS' big chunky one.

Personal choice to be honest but I see your point. This one matches the work done and is much more ergonomic, certainly a much nicer experience for me driving! Also I'll be getting a little tan leather glove to go over the top wink

I have the same one and can atest to the fact it's a joy to use smile And as it's billet, you don't get the scratches that the DBS knob is prone to, from rings etc.

Have also has mixed reactions to it, but each to their own.

Interior looks fantastic yeti. Nice work.

Got it all fitted at about 11pm by the good folks at Bamford Rose... couple of hours kip and then drove to Monaco, just back today; slightly richer, slightly fatter, and deeply in love with my car even though it's a work in progress!

Couple of pics I snapped last night of Sarah's interior. The workmanshp is stunning. The screws in the vent surrounds and the uniquely shaped gearshift surround are supposed to represent watch screws as a nod to my other passion. The wheel and gaiter are dark green, very thick nubuck leather, they feel fantastic and are the exact colour of the green on the Aston Martin logo. Tey add a really nice contrast to the Parliament and Moonstone really make the interior quite sporty. The engine turning is lovely, no refelctions in sunshine or in the windscreen as it's obviously a brushed finish.

The buttons either side of my starter are the AM glass ones for SPORT and ADS. One will connect to my exhaust switch, the other to my Bamford Rose adaptive damping system smile I had a photographer on the tour take better pictures, hopefully he'll mail them to me!

That looks great Yeti, I like the 2 buttons next to the starter one too cool

I'm still not sure on the green gaiter or steering wheel bits, but I'm sure they will look better in person smile

After seeing those pictures... they really do no justice at all frown

I will try and get some better ones that show how complete it all is and how well it all fits together!

It looks fabulous. You might want to consider some B&O speaker covers for the doors to lift them a little, and continue the alloy look across car

Looking good Yeti..... Have been giving my interior a bit of thought recentley and have some nice ideas..... lots of re trimming in acclantra..

I think I will need a 3 year plan, still some external mods I want,, year 1. Some engine mods in mind,, year 2 and interior year 3.... biggrin

I like the fact that there are some nice mods and individual touches being done... Having the balls to jump in and go for what you like.....

I cant wait for the reaction of my vantage collection bonnet... To be honest I cant quite make my own mind up on it but am willing to just see how it looks..

I doubt they'll fit. The B&O and regular speaker covers must be different in some way, since the door caps are also different depending on B&O or standard audio. It seems to me that if the speaker covers were interchangeable, then so too would be the door caps.

Can't seem to see your photos (I'd like to see how all those interior parts turned out). All I get on the screen is a couple of tiny boxes with a red X. And when I click on those, and get sent over to thumbsnap, I just see a couple of tiny photos of the interior (but the photos of the car I can see full size).

Any way, this is also true of the photos that you poseted at the very top of the thread. Any ideas?

That was my original plan, have them trimmed in Parliament green like your wheel but with perforations too!

But Sarah did this, told me it'd look good and after about 10secs of deliberation I loved it! Brought the interior to life and adds a proper sporting feel, especially when I realised its a perfect match for the little green AM logo on the wheel!

Have a look in the flesh at N Wales.
