Premier4509 limited edition body kit for Aston Martin V8 Vantage

EsPpY · July 25th, 2008, 8:08 PM

I swear, though it looks okay to other bodykits, they must have been looking at Need For Speed for inspiration; no, direct real-life materialization.

The front bumper reminds me of the DB9 in NFS Carbon. images/smilies/dry.gif

Still, I'd be glad if there was more power than looks.

Wow, that's how to comprehensively fuck up a superb looking car.

Carbage.

I like the back and sideskirts, but the front is a no-no.

DTMracer · July 26th, 2008, 5:35 AM

The rear bumper works.

Thats about it.

Neat how they specified the target group by naming this thing.

Speedtouch · July 26th, 2008, 9:47 AM

I quite like it. It looks damn fine to me.

klankymen · July 26th, 2008, 12:50 PM

it's not that bad... I would tone down the front abit, but I think on a fancy car like that you can get away with a certain amount of body-kittage. It's ricers and crappy old golf 1s and Opel/Vauxhalls that give body kits a bad name.

The rear bumper/exhausts look damn fine..

Looks good to me, they borrowed a lot of DBS design cues.

GraemeH · July 26th, 2008, 2:48 PM

Don't like the back but i prefer the rest. Thing is if Aston done this as some sort of special edition, everyone that is critisizing it would be all over it with praise.

Doubt it - doesn't matter who did this, it's awful.

Few people voiced protest over the DBS (which i don't like), which is pretty much this kind of thing.

Looks like a DBS.

Difference is the DBS looks fantastic, this looks like shite.

DTMracer · July 27th, 2008, 3:35 AM

That front bumper reminds me of the techart 911 kits.

mclarensmps · July 27th, 2008, 4:19 AM

That side skirt makes me want to vomit...

Posmo · July 27th, 2008, 1:30 PM

Those rear wheelarches are fantastic.

Nothing else to report.

I actually thought it was from AM and wanted to yell at them for making rubbish like that instead of working on the V12 Vantage.

Then I clicked the link and well, Veilside.. what do you expect?
