Subtle cosmetic changes to 2007 Vantage

[baconsarney]

So, really not sure about this… I’ve had the old girl for over eight years now, refurbed a number of bits such as wing mirrors and lower grills… made a huge difference to the look of the car in a ‘refreshed’ kind of way… couple of years back looked at 6 bar grills and roof wraps, and dechroming but not done any of this… only mod (previous owner) was graphite wheels which I think really suits the meteorite silver body… interior is black and red and wouldn’t change it for the world

Don’t want flared sills or bigger boot spoiler. So any thoughts? Just subtle stuff that can be reversed if required….
TIA Richard

As above. The best way to change and personalise the look of the Vantage is wheels (preferably forged, light and 20”, ride height, and spacers. Make sure that you get the geometry sorted once you are happy with the look. Google is your friend to see what difference the above changes can make.

To finish, glass switches and carbon bits.

You know it makes sense...



I found the DB9 impossible to add anything to without it looking like stuck-on bling. Even quad pipes would seem yobbish. So after much pondering I just chose a V12 number plate.

The correct way to improve your Aston is of course to buy another more expensive one

Richard I had a meteorite 07 Vantage as my start to AM ownership. They are a lovely pure design.

How about internal items like carbon door sills (which I bet are all scuffed), glass switches (as above suggestion), aluminium dials on the stereo controls, silver covers on the seat controls, maybe upgrade the waterfall to piano black or carbon (from ECPS), upgrade the steering wheel ( I had mine in both the 8 and V12 re made with thicker rim and flat bottom )

And of course if it’s a manual a V12 gear knob

Externally carbon mirror caps (also from ECPS), possibly spacers on the wheels (also suggested above)

Post photos as you progress
