Sounds fab. Maybe rear diffuser should be matched to body pack, as it would be indistinguishable anyway?
+1 on this. It's a very dark area of the car already, whether it's worth having it body coloured I'm not sure - it needs one of the super punchy / bright colours to bring out the detail really. 
On the charger it comes with a magnetic connection in the bumper; so car can be closed and locked.
Therefore I think the only option.
re: CF roof it is quite extravagant but I think looks amazing.
re: interior:
£1,495 for the CF vs £0 for gloss black on the trim inlay (the bit around the switches)
£1,295 for the CF vs £995 for dark chrome (I don't like the silver)
So I guess the CF interior is also quite extravagant but I had a full CF interior on my Rapide S and it was outstanding and did not get scratched / horrible like some of the piano black ones I saw.
But all views appreciated; the CF will probably depreciate to zero the day after I bought it ;-)

Is the True Hunter option worth considering ?
I do not know what it is, but at £43,805 it must be really impressive.
Was my Amazon purchase on 'Black Friday' 2016, of the £45 CTEK battery conditioner, the trigger for AML to do a redesign of their own conditioner ?
A kind PHer posted on here at the time, to tell us about the lower than normal price. After just a few hours, that offer ended.
True Hunter is nice:
China Grey Paint
Lots of CF
Very Yellow interior (brave!)
£43,805 so puts you on £164k-ish
Not for me.
Lunar Eclipse is Ultramarine but interior has light blue leather as a contrast which I don't fancy; otherwise it is quite similar to my spec but comes in at £31,425 or £152-ish (missing CF roof and other bits).

Would like to know about the magnetic connector on the bumper?
Could be the MagCode System:http://www.rosenberger.de/en/products/automotive/m...
I'm using these connectors for a long time now and they are very reliable and easy to use.

£155k? After three years worth? £80k? Depreciation £2k a month.
How about V12V for £80k, a good holiday each year to take it somewhere nice for £10k and invest the remaining £65k in ISA’s or equivalent. Depreciation? Likely nothing,

How about this apple?
Really makes you think.
I could buy the Shed of the week on PH too, four wheels and an engine after all (those are the arguments we have at home "Do you really need one?').
I like the "old" Vantage, nearly bought one too.
But I am lucky enough to be able to afford the new one and I actually think it moves the design on nicely; I think it will bed in with the traditionalists and then the naysayers will quieten down a little.
I have had 2 "previous generation" Astons and loved them both. Had a 911 GTS in between and over a year it just left me cold (crazy fast and reliable but I never turned round to look at it when I walked away). Now I fancy one of the new generation ones.
I thought it would cost me £3k a month so you have given me a little good news, thank you ;-)
