Retirement gift to myself

[zafod]

Just bought my first Aston.

It's a 2010 4.7 Sportshift V8 Vantage in Tungsten with Obsidian Black interior with 33k on the clock.



Next:
Drive it
Replace front grille with 6 bar bright
Remove number plate plinth and drop plate to below grille
Fit "exhaust remote control"
Indoor Cover
OBD Reader
Battery Conditioner
Drive it more!

Lovely, what a great retirement gift to yourself.

Have a look on a well know auction site, there are usually a few 6 bars knocking about as well as indoor covers.

As for the conditioner, I use the CTEK MX5.0...........works a treat.

Congratulations! Looks lovely

I would promote the exhaust remote control to the top of the list!

Welcome op
Great car, enjoy in good health
If it’s a retirement present shouldn’t it be a Db9 ?

I love the DB9. However, there's none available with the spec I want for the budget I had. I also love the V8V so it was a no brainer!

Beautiful car!

Perfect list of modifications. Don't do anything else, except:

Listen to one with the secondary cats removed
Remove your secondary cats

[bogie]

congrats, looks lovely

I concur - secondary cat pipes and exhaust control top of the list

Congratulations on your new car OP.

Wtf is this comment about?

[alabbasi]

Well done. I need to do exactly that with mine. Drive it!

I think you will find that a 2010 has same 'cat' arrangement as the 4.3 IE; no primary/secondry cats. Just the single cats that can be changed for 200 cell items.
Nice car by the way

Starting a sentence with wtf isn’t really Aston is it ?

Aren’t all Db9 drivers retired ? With pipe and slippers?
I had one and then had a mid life crisis so went and bought a vantage to get down with the kids
