Finally got a chance to detail my new vantage and post a few pics. This a my 2013 Vantage in Tungsten silver with many upgrades both interior and exterior including :

Quicksilver Stage 1 exhaust, DBS Airboxes with vacuum butterflies and K&N filters, Vantage S mapping, 20" DBS wheels with Pirelli tires, Carbon on center stack, Carbon shifter ring, Carbon door pulls, V12 Shifter and knob, Dark tint windows, Clear bra, Front carbon splitter, Rear carbon diffuser and so on.

Very happy how it turned out........

Vantage S map? What's that?

Very nice, especially all the silver colour-coordination.

Great looking car, DBS wheels look good.

no idea how you would do that?
I do like those DBS wheels
Might be an option on Johnny 550 to get a a wider tyre on the back

Pretty much perfect. I love those DBS wheels. What size are the tires? What future modifications are you considering? (i.e. headers?)

[Amv]

Thanks for all the feedback. Regarding the S mapping, it is a computer program that changes the tuning of the car. Much like the sport mode on the the SS trans. Changes fuel mixture, advances timing, etc. it was a program downloaded into the cars ECM and done at the dealership here in Tx.

Regarding the tire question, they are Pirelli P zero with 245/35/20 in the front and 295/30/20 in the back.

Interior pics to follow soon

Wanted to throw a question out there and get all your opinions........

Would you leave the DBS wheel color As-Is or would you do a darker finish powder coat on the wheels? I have a friend that has a McClaren Mp-12c and has dark grey finish on his wheels with a black exterior and it looks really good. I realize the car looks really good right now but would welcome any feedback......thanks!

Leave those alloys just as they are my friend

Nice looking car, well detailed, looks good

[CPBRI]

Purty!

[Quinny]

Yep... I'd definitely go for dark wheels.....will make a great looking car even better

ASM2 doesn't have a Sport mode, the Sport button in the S changes the sensitivity of the throttle and the RPM at which the exhaust valve open and that is it. Never come across an AM dealership offering this and I'm curious to know a bit more about it if possible?

Thanks for the sizes on the tyres shame they are no wider than what i can get on my rears

I think it also changes the speed of the gear change or at least it feels like it does. But like you, I'm not aware of any engine tuning.

Disagree, I'd swap them for smaller ones, they look somewhat cartoonish on the "Baby Aston". Nice car spoilt by the wheels in my opinion.

[LordBretSinclair]

Stunning!!!!

Leave it as is

Not in mine it doesn't

[ADvantageV8]

Absolutely stunning and if it was mine I'd leave the DBS rims in the bright silver as opposed to a darker colour as personal preference - but stunning looking changes you've made IMHO

I'll have a play. I've not had mine long but the dealer suggested it did, that said, he told me a lot of things that were wrong.
