Greetings

Can anyone with a AMR Vantage let me know if the AMR stripes are stuck on graphics or painted with the bodywork.

Many thanks.

All factory AMR stripe / highlight options are painted, not stickers.

Many thanks.

I was looking at a AMR Vantage that according to the specification should have the full graphics pack but on all photographs there are none even though it is an AMR version so possibly it may have had a complete respray graphics pack omitted.

Which Vantage, the new/current one, or the previous one?

If the rather nice looking Black onyx one at Bristol then the current model AMR but possibly painted that way from the factory ie the Hero pack includes " fine line lacquer" paintwork in another colour -at least I think thats what Q called the paint as Adam says and certainly was when I got my GT8 painted differently to the accent pack etc.

Hatfield, then? If it's this one then possibly just a dealer mistake in the listings, but it does seem strange that not only does it say Graphics Pack, but it also states the graphics are in Elwood Blue, when clearly there are no graphics at all in the piccies. Says it on both the AM and their own website too.

That said the paint is Ultramarine so blue graphics would have worked well, but then interior is Vivid Red welt and highlights, so wouldn't have worked with that. Repainting away the graphics pack would be expensive though.

You're going to have to call them I think to find out what's what.

The ultramarine black with Ellwood Blue stripe combination came as standard with Pure Black / Aurora Blue interior. That said, my understanding is that was only recommended and you could go for something different should you so wish.

^^^This^^^ for non-halo cars, and you could also spec the non-halo car’s with or without the stripe. The halo interior and exterior colour schemes were pretty much fixed with very limited scope to change even when going down the ‘Q’ route.

Not all AMR’s had stripes. Externally and internally, you could spec much more with the Q route.

I wonder how many had stripes, percentage-wise?
