What are the visable differences between a 4.7 and 4.3 ?

[bromers2]

Does anyone know what the visible differences are on 4.7 Vantage vs a 4.3 (Roadster or Coupe)? (or point me in the right direction).

Can you add the "4.7" bits to a 4.3 ?

Thanks

[bogie]

you mean the outside or inside?

the main bit inside is the new centre console a la DBS ..which some prefer, some people dont

Outside I think there are different wheel choices available

thats about it for the main visible differences I think

Thanks - was just looking at external differences.

Are he lourves in the bonnet on the 4.3 as well ? (they look slightly different - silver on the 4.7)

louvres are the same AFAIK - will just show up different depending on what colour car you choose......

The only external differences are the wheels.

Do they have the same size tyres on the different wheels ?

Do you think aston missed a trick not making some external changes ?

Only the 4.7 has front parking sensors.

yes, same tyres ...although Pirelli Corsas are still an option, in slightly wider sizes

dont think it needs any changes ....and neither did Aston obviously

Correct, certainly between MY06 4.3 and 4.7. Not sure though whether it got deleted as part of the MY07 changes that were done to the 4.3
