I bought 2 covers from them, one for my Aston and one for the Griff but they were reticent to embroider the badges on the one for the Aston so I left them off both.

I doubt you will get one with an Aston badge on other than through official dealers as Aston require the payment of a licence fee for using the wings which other suppliers are not prepared to pay.

That's what they explained to me. it's not great issue. I did think of sewing on a couple of embroidered badges but frankly I've got more pressing things to do in the garage! Like tidy it up!

Rich and Ian are correct. Classic Additions are currently making a cover for my recently acquired V8 Roadster to match the one I have on the MG.
It will just have the words Aston Martin on the bonnet and Vantage on each front wing where the side strakes are.

I saw you posted just after half one today. Absolutely no point in offering advice at 4:00pm because you've already bought one, haven't you Andy?

Well I hope not, the add clearly states Genuine Aston Martin!

Tim, I had the AMOC badge put on mine without any issue. Looks pretty good.



Bit big for the new one though - but does the job

For the OP - something that may be of help, particularly if you are looking for something outdoors.

You missed his point, Andy. The Genuine Aston Martin covers are made by Classic Additions.

The £70 extra is the AM premium (for the logo!)

I'd love to get the aston cover, but more than I want to spend I think. I'm broke since I've just paid for the car! smile

Classic Additions can not do the logo though is this right?
The extra £70 is worth it if this is so.
