I will add the carbon bonnet vents to finish her off!
Search for "Aston Martin Carbon Fibre" on a well known auction site...............and scroll down a bit..........they have what you need......and no, it's got nothing to do with me at all, just stumbled on it whilst browsing.
Thanks. I found them, They are around £6k direct, much cheaper on a well known auction site but there is a local company who make them in the UK at a good price also. I think they have been mentioned here before but don’t want to break any rules.
I will be buying from the UK guys, will let you know how I get on (photos coming).

This topic might be purely about the V12V (manual), but here is a snippet about the successor (Sportshift).
First appeared on sale (MD) in October 2018 at £108k.
Still for sale, but now the asking price has just been reduced to £88k.
£20,000 (19%) down in 6 months. Oops.
The price reductions have taken place every two months, so presumably that may be the standard practice of the dealer.
Brexit jitters, hints at a global downturn, finance rates going up {big issues with US auto finance}, weak sales of new cars meaning there are deals to be had, there's lots of externals messing with the used market; if Brexit gets squared away and if the US and China sort out their trade deal then we might see increased confidence in the luxury car market. If you didn't have to sell now I'd be inclined to see what the next six months brings.

Yes, it was mine. Its perfect and I had it serviced just before Romans bought it, you'll have a great car!
She is now with me and the bonnet vents replaced with the CF Louvres.Glorious car! Yes it is slower than my 488 but it will take me 6 months to learn how to drive it properly, unlike the 488 where you can rag it from day one. Rapid starts off the line will take some thought and practice rather than just planting my right foot. It has character and many weird noises (!). Maybe I am getting old but just going faster, faster and faster seems to have lost its appeal.
PS Kevin thanks for doing the full PPF! Still even smells like a new car!

Here you all go! Mmmmmmmmm! Grinning like a 5 year old.
AM18VSM is a great plate for a V12S Manual but I will be replacing with my V12 Initials plate, just seems right.
Lovely! Really nice to see those alloys in light silver! I think the contrast is great compared to black or gunmetal grey (even though I now have the latter).AM18VSM is a great plate for a V12S Manual but I will be replacing with my V12 Initials plate, just seems right.

I am going to buy some extra wheels and stick corsas on them.Trying to choose between the Zagato's in diamond edge / black inside or the AMR wheels in textured silver.
But as it is the car looks quite classic and unfussy, don't want to lose that.
Gunmetal grey is usually my go to colour.

You have my vote, whichever! Trying to choose between the Zagato's in diamond edge / black inside or the AMR wheels in textured silver.

The Zagato V12 Vantage alloys are sublime. The best wheel designs ever fitted to a modern Aston, IMHO. But I’ve always been curious to see the lattice AMR alloys in a lighter silver. They’ve always been shown in Black, even though at one point I saw an option for silver. They could be equally stunning.
Neither are low-cost, but they are distinguished.
Indeed! Well found on the silver AMR pic. I thought I was going mad that there was a silver option as I hadn’t been able to find any pics.
I’m tempted to have my black ones finished silver for a change, though I might put my silver Zagato ones on instead for a brighter look.
I’m a fan of both wheels, and in ref to the Zagato wheels, a lot of this style seem to have come out since. I drove an Urus a couple of days back and it have the 22 wheels which really reminded me of them too. Still look great though.
