I know this is a long shot. But I have a 70 plate Vantage with the “new” nose.

I’m wondering if anyone has one with the old nose and they want the new nose and would be up for swapping as I really would like the old nose.

Maybe I need a higher resolution monitor, or new glasses, but I thought you already have the original grille.
I can only see a black opening at the front. confused

That big water filled pothole looks worrying.

I’d certainly get that filled before changing the nose - you could lose someone down there…

That is the later nose, the original one has the black/graphite/CF surround

I know Aston themselves offer the new swap, maybe worth a shot asking them directly for going back? They might have old noses laying around.

Yes indeed. I was being a little cheeky.
Particularly in photographs, a black coloured vanes grille does not stand out very well. Bright finish makes the difference.

Only an opinion. Your own car looks great.
