What are the general thoughts on this colour (Tungsten Silver) ?

I always insisted I would never order silver, grey or black but when mooching at the dealer earlier I saw this. The depth of the colour seems really quite nice and I think the CF sets it off well especially with the lightweights.

I personally don't like it. Too flat, too grey IMO.

It does change a little in sunlight, and looks clean (ish) most of the time, even when filthy ...so quite practical wink

...I went from black to tungsten silver and black still wins on the day that you clean it, the rest of the time the tungsten looks great ...

One of the nicest V12s I've seen posted on here in a while. I'd buy it in a flash.

Tungsten is a really nice colour and was my first choice when I was looking for my first Vantage (even though I ended up with California Sage Green). For some reason I think it suits early Vantages better than later ones (maybe it's the different bumpers) and personally I'm not completely convinced by it on a V12 as apposed to a V8. Having had a green one I thought I would stick with colours but then ended up with Ceramic grey on my next one which is also lovely and no regrets at all (apart from not buying the Madagascar Orange V12V).

My roadster was Tungsten silver and it is a great colour that has a real flake pop in the sunlight. Never looked dirty either unlike my current steed.

Tungsten is very pretty, looks like liquid metal in the right light.

Looks good - understated - £2k worth of carbon paddles , £5.5k of B&O but no lightweight seats.
Price doesn't look bad.

Classic Aston, one of the longest running colour options for good reason. Silver with a hint of brown, changes with the light which doesn't really show in photos......
You need to see it in the flesh, as ever colour choice is personal, but you won't go wrong come resale smile

I have a Tungsten DB9 and have to say it is a fantastic colour that changes in different lights and has a very liquid feel to it with great depth from the different flakes within.

If you like it just get it, I'm glad I did!

I think it looks great in that spec. I'm a fan of the blacks and brighter colours, but a silver/grey aston had a classic look to it. I'd try and knock them down a couple of quid on the price though. It's works and they are normally more expensive than everyone else.

Of all the Silvers Tungsten is my favourite. When I got my first Aston we were going to have Tungsten, went to the factory and came away having ordered a meteorite one. Still not sure how that happened.

Tungsten has so many facets to it and looks so different dependent on the available light. Our roadster has the traditional V12V alloys with a black gloss finish which I think works quite well and shows up in pictures, the black gloss wheels sometimes look like a black blob when photographed and don't show the detail you see when washing them.

I really doubt you would regret getting a Tungsten car with the added bonus being it hides dirt pretty well smile
