I wondered if it was possible to buy a kit or if there was the possibility of mounting the front of the v12 on the v8.
The v12 front end changes the appearance a lot. I would save a lot of money
Someone has tried

Thank you. Thank you.
I thought I had managed to put the photos.
I'm referring to the 2018 vantage

Thank you for your support. With gtp I found this seller.
Since the rear of the 2018 Vantage is similar to the 2024, just change the front to have a nice front with a nice air intake.
Now I take information, if I find a 2018 at a good price I cover it and modify the front. I'll keep you updated. Let's see if the total cost is not exaggerated and sends me out of budget.

A very interesting modification.
Seems to be a way to greatly improve the appearance and also save £thousands.

I remember being shown drawings whilst at the St Athan open day, before the new Vantage announcement.
I was quite shocked and told them, "You are making a big mistake".

Years ago there was an after market alternative front offered for the 2018 Vantage, but well worth waiting for the V12 version.
Long standing Aston Martin tradition had returned.

Wonder whether the bonnet is unchanged?

As far as I know, the V12 bonnet won't fit the V8. I have no time to check now, but there are V12 parts on Aston Martin Bits, they specifically say what fits and what not If I recall it correctly.

With enough money anything is possible.
