V8 Vantage: Stock vs modified and door strut replacement.

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

Clear rear lights were on the Vantage a year before the DBS was launched, they actually were first seen on Vantage N400 which was produced a year before DBS was launched.

That's interesting. Wasn't aware the N400 had the clear tail lights first. You wouldn't think simply changing the tail lights would have such a dramatic update to the look of the Vantage but it does.

That’s a good friend... “So should I take it to the shop? No, we can do it”.

I like the stock exhaust way better. APs sound like a rice rocket.

To help fix the wind noise problem you could add a mic muff to your microphone if you dont already have one on

[@prssupercars8458]

Yeah it was just really blasting at the moment. Didn't think it would be that bad until I went to edit.

[@prssupercars8458]

I should invest in a real camera and mic setup for this handheld stuff.

My Vantage S had the bright trim, silver meshes and silver wheels. Had.

[@prssupercars8458]

Yeah we should have stated the Vantage S black pack... or as close as you can get an early model vantage to look.... "Had"? Now I'm interested, what modification have you done?

[@LiqdPT]

@@prssupercars8458 wrapped midnight green metallic gloss, window trim wrapped satin black, black meshes, AMR mesh grill, AMR black wheels.

Love to see a pic of that

@@Jim-v3o I have the same username on Instagram. I don't have a lot of photos posted, but there are some of my car in various configurations.

[@oboitsheponakoepa568]

How many inches are the wheels?

[@prssupercars8458]

'06 Vantage stock is running 19" rims. 235 front, 275 rear. Later years went up to 20's with 285 on the rear.

[@chiefexecutive]

Man I wish my V8S front lip was $271!! Mine just got cracked from a random road bucket 🪣 and I’m on the fence of what to replace it with… 🤣

[@prssupercars8458]

Yeah that sucks and Aston OE parts are really expensive. That's the advantage to the older Vantage. I buy front splitters from Oya Carbon in bulk. Gone through two already.
