I kind of like this if it had normal carbon fibre on it, I saw it in one of Shmee’s you tube videos and the colour is amazing
Thoughts !?

Is this one of those irony gags, Alain Class?

I think there is definitely a market for that car, perhaps Philip Green?

I had to study it for a bit to see what the differences were between this and standard. Clearly for me, the lines between factory output and crass aftermarket tat are blurring.

Still, if you like it, fill yer boots! smile

Atrocious.

Any idea how much they are asking for this? I'm curious how much it costs to turn a good looking, perfectly formed, classy car into something Xzibit used to grin over.

Look at the tyres.
One of the first things these vehicle 'redesigners' usually do, is to fit bigger diameter road wheels and then, the lowest profile tyres they can find.

As we all know, many non-motorway roads in the UK are now in a poor state of repair. Looking ahead for potholes, and being ready to swerve, has unfortunately become a normal part of driving.

After a drive in that Mansory modified DB11, I expect regular visits to a chiropractor would be needed.

The gaudy colours make the form less obtrusive, I think it works to be fair.

Although I wouldn't want it for my own car the green is a nice colour.

There appear to be urban camouflage parts all around the lower body though. On an Aston Martin?

Different coloured roof doesn't look any good either.

I like it, except that odd marble effect on the darker parts. If that was gloss carbon it would be spot on

It would look better with either the green extended over the roof, or the roof in black.
Lipstick looks out of place, especially so in white.
Whilst twill carbon fibre has been around for a while, it still looks much better than that chopped carbon everywhere.
Wheels and tyres look great, but will be impractical on the road and unless the wheels are forged, will crack.
Paint is either not paint but a wrap, or is more likely Spectra-Chrome. Lovely finish but VERY fragile. Swirl marks if you breathe too heavily on it.
I like the finish on the leather but white? Not really a colour I could live with and suspect it will get grubby pretty quickly.
Bonnet and boot badges should remain Aston Martin, although they may not like whats been done to their car!
White carpets? Clearly not intended for a wet climate.
The floor mats say it all! Far Eastern market.

Just spunking money over a car doesn't always mean great taste, awful. hurl
