Let the changes begin....... :D
Discussion
So as per usual I simply cannot leave anything alone...
My last Aston had some really nice mods and spent a small fortune, this time around its just a few minor cosmetics.
Here are the 1st things to be done.
De-chromed.... Window surrounds, side strakes wrapped in matt black, bonnet vents, front grill and side vents painted matt black.
Number plate is wonky I know but being changed next week so will sort that out then...
To follow next is wheels, suspension and a Quicksilver Super Sport back box and cat delete pipes which will all be fitted week after next.

All looking good.
I really like the window surrounds.
Was that an expensive job and did they remove the chrome to do it ?
In fact quite the opposite... £450-00 + VAT for the lot... The window surrounds are removed and wrapped, same as the side strakes etc... So when you are done or want to remove it you can just peel it off. Obviously not the same for the grill and vents as they have been painted. I really like the window surrounds.

I like your car burntout. Looking very good.
On past form, should we be amused by your comment above?
Anyway, go for it, you know you want to. -
May I suggest the GT8 look this time?

Who did it for you ?Thinking of doing that with my car but I think I would like the grill to be wrapped as well to make it easy to return to original. Can the grill be wrapped ?

LOL I did think about it......
Maybe there could be some interior things in the future.... For eg... If a set of lightweight seats from V12V come up? The V12V steering wheel and complimentary gear knob...

You cat wrap the grill I don't think.... but easily in noticed when black anyway....
Thanks schmoozer.Far be it for me to be pedantic however your quoted comment " You cat wrap the grill I don't think" .... is giving me a problem with comprehension.
I have a cat,her name is Missy.
I have asked her and she definitely says she can't wrap the grill.
I also need some help in understanding the second part of the comment " but easily in noticed when black anyway ".
I'm presuming you live south of the Thames,so as a north Londoner,I'm wondering if this is a dialect of that area ?

I did the grill and all window surrounds with 2 cans of plasidip total cost £24 And the surrounds can be done on the car. Also it's all reversal just peel it off to get back to standard. Looks like it's been done at the factory.
Next time you're in London ring me......behave yourself and the jobs yours.Nice cuppa tea....a bullseye......no questions asked....no pack drill.....job done.
