Looks great
Yes, Karl, a full picture would be much appreciated. I am interested how the diffuser looks like with the carbon weave going all in one direction.

I had a closer look at my N420 diffuser yesterday, and indeed the carbon weaves meet in the center. And honestly I don’t like it very much

Karl, absolutely gorgeous pics. I am envious because all the pics I've tried to take of my car don't look that great . . . likely because I have no idea how to use my DSLR!

Really nice work! If it's OK, I may PM you at some point in the future to get some advice on lighting and camera settings.

Jarod, I'll buy your diffuser if you decide to replace it with an RSC one. Did you get yours through a dealer?

Nah, I am not going to sell it though I don't like the how carbon weaves meet so much.

I bought mine at astonmartinbits.com. Not sure if they still have one in stock though.

Nope. I've checked with them before and been told that they are currently searching for a source for more of them.

Congrats on the new ride. Looks great. My V12V was also inspected by Mick Freeman.

Karlfranz, I particularly love the close-up shot of the wheel--those undulating surfaces look really cool! Great job! Is photography part of your profession, or is it a hobby?

Thanks. Just a serious hobby I'm afraid. I tried the starving artist route for a while but it's hard to afford nice toys like an Aston unless you're really good and very lucky.

BTW it took some experimentation to get the wheel lit up without lighting up the surrounding car. Some friends even thought I took the wheel off the car until I pointed out that the brake caliper and disc are in the shot.

I'd love to see a direct rear picture of the lower rear diffuser.


P.S. CAN THE MODERATORS PLEASE NOT SUBSTITUTE SMILEY FACES FOR THE ASTON PIC, it is incredibly annoying lol.

Just saw the wheel shots. Those are really cool, especially considering the wheels were still on the car. Nice work!

Chirag,

Below are some pics I took of my car early last year when I first bought my car and before I put in many of my current upgrades:
  • AM Sport Pack wheels
  • Porterfield brake pads
  • AM Clear taillights
  • AM 6-bar grill
  • AM N420 sills
  • RSC N420 diffuser
  • Dension iPod and Bluetooth Integration
  • Piano black console
  • Alcantara door trim
  • Tony Hall personalized black sill plaques
  • LED cabin lighting
  • RSC air filters

Next on my scheduled agenda are:
