When you buy headlights make sure you get a pair with matching bezels, there are 3 different styles.

[@3000malc]

nice job, I can't believe that people watch a video without even giving it a like, if I watch a whole video I always give it a like. come on people, start giving the vids u watch a thumbs up, it ain't hard.

[@oaga71625e]

What if you don't like it ?

[@rhuk2012]

you definitely should source the clear rear lights from the newer vantages. looks much better than the old style red ones.

[@marklaxton5550]

Looking good the side skirts make a big difference when you compare them 👍

[@kristofferkorkunc]

If the exhaust is loud now and you can't hear the parking sensors - try removing the fuse for the exhaust, it opens it up sounding maaaad!!

[@bigal2417]

i thing you were very lucky to find that part.

[@Hwang_Over]

Nice! I hope you paint this flugplatz blue! I would also rec clear black taillights with carbon inserts to match everything and update the rear. ECPS is a good source. If you dont want to replace the entire trunk but get more aggressive, they make duck tail lips to mimic the newer vantages. They come in carbon too.

[@johnelbro127]

Loving the car with updated body parts. Looking forward to the next one👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mattsbeamer]

Hey, over the last 2 days while being sick, I was lucky enough to come across your channel. I watched all the 350z, 135i e82 and Aston videos so far. Great work. The 1m rep is stunning

[@Chris_Slix]

Appreciate it matt! Get well soon.

[@mattsbeamer]

@@Chris_Slix cheers Chris!

[@mictaylor9531]

Chris, with small symmetrical round parts like that you could have whipped off the part from the other side for reference and had any half descent machinist knock that up on a lathe in less than 5 minutes and it would cost you around £10.00. Just a consideration going forward. Awesome content as always 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@GT-Diaries]

Great project, Aston Martin always look stunning.

[@75AndyP]

Chris you'll have to pop round and take me for a spin when you get it done. 👍👍

[@paulholman8465]

Lovely looking motor, can’t wait to see it finished mate 👍🏻

[@whatsdavedone104]

Quiet liking the silver on black...think you should do silver down the sides, black bonnet, roof and boot 👌

[@gt197]

Looking sick already Chris..👍🏻

[@IAmWillMcLovin]

It’s going to look unreal when complete. Nice work Chris

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Loved it, every bit of it

[@danieljameson8330]

Great work Chris

[@SM-ec5bk]

Great video . Very honest and transparent

[@hellodarren]

Great work mate, not long now!

[@jasonreynolds1347]

Cheeky spoiler on the boot! 👍🏻 And really do like the colours! Think you could make it work 🤔

[@markcarter9476]

The Vantage definately has a look about her, looking forward to seeing which colour you go for. Personally I would go for the 'Aston Martin Racing Green' but thats probably a little conservative for yourself.

[@GermanWhip-3900]

Been waiting for this episode

[@peggyontherun39096]

Looking good Chris keep up the good work

[@bigmatt2896]

awesome video chris, car is looking great. just waiting for the next video now which should be called.........................."V12 engine for my vantage" :) keep up the good work mate

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Thx for a great video with an awesome car! 👍😍👍

[@RichOvertonGasoline]

Another great video mate.. ☝️

[@lukebuxton7589]

Seems MILES away from when your brought your Astra to me all them years ago! Great to see you’re doing well. I’ll take that Starbucks for a catch up soon 👍🏻

[@Chris_Slix]

When i couldnt wrap an interior trim 🤣 lets see if i have got any better…

[@brun_s]

Yet again another belter of a video mate! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@brun_s]

Also please invest in some knee pads 😩😩

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Nice work though I'm a purist and have a vantage but expressly wanted the original tucked under sill.

[@steven-taylor]

Great video chris, just subscribed! Been following matt since from day one, seen you in a few of his videos. Great work

[@nickybashment7873]

I'm jealous... Love a vantage 😍

[@jamestodd6248]

Good job, looking mint👌

[@jayb8439]

This is excellent 👌

[@pero9815]

Track rod is from frod by looking at its number you can buy frod one its exactly the same peace :)

[@dominionngadu1268]

Your doing good Chris ☺️☺️ wat about changing the back light with new LED lights design....

[@Talltwunt]

Sideskirts make a huge difference man! Love it well done! Was hoping you would wash it this episode ;)

[@Talltwunt]

Also get a huge wing on it ;)

[@TheDevilVaper]

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for you to remove the metal bush from the passenger side and got a CNC copy made? 🤔

[@Chris_Slix]

This was my second choice would rather have something that is unquestionably 100% correct

[@robsmith4555]

That would probably cost a lot to make a 1 off piece. Unless you know someone who could do it on the side.

[@mamaulanfarhanmolok4282]

Dayum bro nice 💯 still waiting for the 1 series tho

[@LiqdPT]

10:42 I honestly thought you were going to say "the grille". You are doing the v12 grille, aren't you? I guess I'll find out.

[@dee106ful]

You could have asked an engineering company to machine one for you.

[@shkohemin5901]

Keep it up

[@michaelhall3602]

Looking good would look better wrapped white 😁

[@leslieburridge2087]

Just watching your video on the track rod end bushings ? obvious this is an AM designed error, as I have never seen such a bushing installed in this area. Secondly you should never reuse a lock nut, especially on a critical piece of equipment 😬 However great video PS, I have subscribed to your channel 👍👍👍

[@Mega18091984]

Your vids are okay but I still preferring Mat Armstrong ones

[@LiqdPT]

5:00 I know you'll probably get there, but the tailpipe finishers are different on the V8 and the V12 (and they're bolted to the bumper with different mounting points). Annoyingly, the V8S has V12 finishers, so I ordered the wrong ones for my car at first.

[@Chris_Slix]

Already done it man 😅 check the newer videos!

[@LiqdPT]

@@Chris_Slix Ya, I'm working my way thru. I watched Matt's videos and had seen your first couple but had somehow fallen behind. FYI, I'm a mod on the Aston Martin DIY FB group along with Josh (Detail Media Corps) that you referenced back when you did the intake.

[@stringermariexoxo7049]

Make it pink 🥰

[@Blue-nb4xl]

Wish I was mat Armstrong

[@northamptonwest9077]

Shite day just got better. Think you need to expand in to helping subscribers lol. I'll donate you my L322 and you send it back to me in A1 condition think of the Ad 💰🤑💸

[@BOSS_61]

first

[@johnwilliams-sc1vf]

You should have taken off the other side and had one machined

[@SP-ot4wc]

Your mate MAT ARMSTRONG didn’t give you any car cleaning products?? He got branded MA range and not hooking u up 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@delmarcarz4974]

i have a set of 2011 V8 vantage GT rims dm if intesrested

[@Nxthxn.]

I feel like you're thumbnails are slightly copied by mat Armstrong
