Aston Martin should call these guys and make a deal - I think it's a huge improvement - now about that interior...

Big improvement. Looks like an Aston Martin should. I also like the updated slat grill AM promotes on the new roadster.

I like it a lot better. Wonder if they will offer it with silver slats as well.

This is how the new vantage should have been designed from the factory. They absolutely nailed it.

Its a vast improvement IMHO, however its still a compromise because the conversion only involves the bumper. The headlights are still too small. This is not a knock on the manufacture as any other modification would not have been cost effective. The following pics show the stark difference in the bumper's designs along with the classic original design of the early Vantages. Hopefully this company will tackle the rear bumper next. (smile)

smaller grill makes the headlights not seem so small... well done to this company, apparently they also have a kit to make the rear end less ostentatious as well

Big fan of this modification. Because of the small headlights, the smaller grille makes it look more cohesive.

I agree with sonies. The small headlights fit the car better with an appropriately-sized grille between them. This design makes the car look ten times better from the front. I already liked the back.

I'll brake from the crowd and say I love the stock grill set up. And the rear is perfection as long as you get the quad tips. However I feel the long smooth hood could use some vents to break it up.

Night and day difference. I love it. Makes it look like a proper Aston in my opinion.

Well done to these guys. With the poor residuals on the second hand market if this is reasonably priced I could see some people doing this conversion. I think the hard part would be matching the paint and what else is changed in terms of brackets etc behind the bumper.
