My V12VS HAS ARRIVED at HWM
Discussion
Other things the cars are black instruments , manual seat runners , power kit , amr wheels on the way (these ones on the car will get winter tyres), carbon rear supports , carbon handbrake handle , crushed carbon badges , black bang and olufson speakers , the bonnet vents will be sprayed black and lots of other things made black basically . It's been an absolute pleasure dealing with hwm and I cannot recommend Guy enough . He is an absolute gentleman and a real petrol head .

Love it and no need to change anything !!
Thank you , I think you are right . It's pretty spot on Your new car is a thing of absolute beauty - great job on speccing it. You have a very special Aston there and not sure how you better that! You might do though 
Love the quilting and the GT12 doorcards, well love everything about it really
I think the clear rear lights suit the car really well and if you went red you are adding colour into the car that works against the rest of the car - just my opinion of course.
If this one is this good can't wait to see what the "special" one will be like

looks amazing, congratulations. I've got some similar details coming on mine.
I think you ordered at the right time, because as one of the last 20 cars before the AMR ones I feel like I've been squeezed in where there wasn't really space. Dread to think how long it'll be for the last AMR cars.
I've had Q spec, though nothing as significant as you, but dealing with them has been painfully slow.
I'm due to go and see my first new Aston tomorrow on the production line, but I'm still confirming details! I'm going to have to squint at my car due to the amount of trim things that are going to have to be dealer fit. 3 months trying to confirm putting a cirrus grey headlining instead of tailors grey. Currently waiting on works. Other stuff was confirmed quickly enough, but not ready in time for the production line. Again, there wasn't really time to do it properly.
Feel pretty jaded on the whole experience, think my blind loyalty to Aston is being tested and the Vanquish might go to try an FF.
Anyway, sorry for the thread hijack, and back to how awesome your car came out.

congrats, looks fab
Interesting that you have manual seats but still have the electric controls ? Any plans or discussions about removing them ?
For the wheels, does that mean you specced the lightweight option wheels, but plan on using them as winter wheels as you have AMR wheels coming too ? I'd just double check the winter tyres will fit.
The standard V12V wheels are 9" at the front to take a 255 width tyre and 11" wide at the back to take a 295 tyre. I assume the lightweights are the same size. The standard fit Sottozero winter tyres for Aston V12V are 235 and 275, which come with a warning that they don't fit on the standard V12V rims - I'm not saying they don't and some on here will be able to confirm from experience, but I'd just be slightly wary given Aston's warning
