Over priced, under imaginative tat.
The only useful items have been available for years by good aftermarket indies. Even then, the aftermarket stuff is still better.

That's very much your personal opinion. Aftermarket is just that, aftermarket - these items are all OEM, and for many of us that makes a world of difference. My personal opinion, but for with a like for like part I wouldn't consider putting them on my car, but I would the OEM parts.

Each to their own, but for OEM only people, there is now a serious option available! If you are a non-OEM person then no harm done anyway.

God, that aero is hideous. Canards??? FFS. If I wanted a car designed by a chav with a Carnoisseur catalogue then I'd have bought an Evo or Scooby.

Again personal opinion, I really quite like it and it appears to be the exact same Aero as fitted to the AMR Vantage GT4 race cars if I am not mistaken. I agree it would not work on a lot of cars however, so it needs the right colour combo and spec already.

For instance I think it would look amazing on Northernmedia's Gulf decaled Flugplatz V12VS, and I think it would also look amazing on a bonkers Kermit Green V12VS - if only I knew somebody with one of those huh!

My only concern is that the rear wing is quite conservative compared to the GT8 and GT12 wings, but I will wait until I have seen one in the flesh before making my mind up either way.

Oh, and here. Save yourself a couple of grand on your AMR GoPro.

Ok well this one is hard to argue against - it does indeed seem like a very expensive option compared to a GoPro. Not that I would need or want either, but the GoPro has to be the logical choice here unless funds are unlimited.

I did say practical use. I just dont think all the visual add ons add anything, looks like the car has been on a drive through in halfords

Your personal opinion of course of which you are very much entitled to have. There are quite a few who wouldn't agree however - including many of the AMR Vantage customers who seem to be speccing Aerokit and the AMR wheels on their order (based on spec's posted on the AMR Vantage thread).

The point being up until now, the only way to such items was indeed with an aftermarket tuner (aka Halfords), but now there is a genuine factory AM option to have these, which is genuinely linked to the AM motorsport parts. These mods may not be to everybodies personal preference, but "Halfords" they are not.
