When are they going to fit a grill on the V12V ?

[PlusOneToo]

You will all have seen the V12V but with the arrival of the Roadster I hoped they would have got around to fitting a grill on the front by now.

I see the support brackets are there, but where is the grill? I know some of you will say it is already fitted and its a mesh (it certainly is a mesh). I know the chat is that it is an aid to cooling, but cant see that omitting the mesh and fitting a proper Aston horizontal polished stainless or ali job would be worse. As its is it doesn't look finished imho.

As usual it's all a matter of personal taste but two of the reasons I want a V12V rather than a V12VS are the gearbox and the grille. Now a manual V12V with 573 bhp and adaptive suspension, that would be very special. I guess the best way to do that would be to get a standard V12 then take it along to BR. Thinking of which, has anyone had the BR switchable suspension on their V12V?

The mesh is probably less susceptible to stone chips. My anthracite grille is peppered with them.
