Now this is a brave discussion to engage you all with..

You may know that I drive a DB9 matt black vinyl wrap with a grey stripe (I wont post a picture to avoid getting anyone hot under the collar) with red wheels!

I know that some posters here absolutely hate what I have done, some find it mildly amusing and some quite like it…

So for those that like this kinda of stuff – I would love to hear from you as I am having the car re-wrapped this year and would like to hear some ideas for colours and design..

I have to say, I do like the stripe all the way through, so that will be staying in the design, but I would love to hear your thoughts…

thanks in advance - Nick

How about a California Sage / Aston racing green wrap this time? You can stripe it in yellow, at least it'll be Aston racing colours! Either that or the Gulf combo... Could then have orange wheels wink

Yes, please do post a pic. I'd love to see it. I saw a DB9 with black/grey online and thought it looked fantastic. Don't think it had red wheels though.

I remember your car mate, I think george said some nice things about it.

How about white/red or black stripe and keep your red wheels?

Nick, without people like you life would be boring. I've a sneaking admiration for anyone who sticks two fingers up at convention. I bet yours was the most photographed car at Hever last year. I took several.

For one, I can't wait to see its latest incarnation.

Sorry I haven't any suggestions where you go next, but I've no doubt it will be controversial and YOU.

Good on you.

+1 . Like I've said to yeti, I like and admire individualism, and if you have the funds to transform your car again to something special then go for it, we too saw your car at Hever last year and my sons loved it smile

Just read the first post and thought the same thing.

If you often park in the same place, get this fella to paint something on it:

Vegris has a Meteorite Vantage wrapped in white with a metallic fleck in the wrap.
I looked great at the recent N Wales run.
I like the idea of changing the look with out the hassle of painting it and being able to put it back or change it as many times as you like.
Jockman could do that to keep it clean rather than sending it for warranty work wink

Gosh ------ as Murdoch says – “this is the most humbling moment in my life”

Options –

Stay as is – Matt black with Grey
Matt black with red stripe or green (with green wheels)
Matt white with black stripe (black wheels) or red stripe


I have considered gulf colours, but for a everyday car it would look out of place, believe it or not I do like the subtly of the current design – not sure I want a “all out there” look

happy to take more ideas

If I'm honest I think the matte effect looks incredibly cheap and tacky, not to mention fking awful.

I'd go for something like a race livery instead. What about Jeff Koons art car:

I'd like somthing with a don't give a st Rat Rod look.cool..

I wonder if you can get a rust wrap that looks just like its been sat in a junk yard for 50 years. I've seen a few VDubs done like that and I think they look fantastic

Mmmmmscratchchin then again, being a DB9 you might not have to wait that long for that look to appear just by itself anywaysmile

How about a DB9R colour scheme (with black wheels this time)?
