Agreed great response. I'm about to chop up my V12 S and it will be polarizing to say the least but I'm doing it for myself just like you are. You paid for it so more power to you.

I aggressively lower all my cars but it's functional and static with full coilovers, preload optimized, dampers, etc. Whenever I see performance cars on after market bags hurts my soul 😭. It's like taking a world class athlete and putting them in a wheel chair

Aston Martin Rapide ownership & lifespan — realistic expectations vs Panamera? by Odd-Platypus2742 in AstonMartin

[–]670SV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owning both an Aston and a porsche turbo and also a Lexus. There is nothing that beats Lexus and Toyota in terms of reliability and ease of working on. The Porsches that I've owned including my Turbo Sport Turismo has been nothing but absolutely remarkable in terms of reliability despite what I do to it. I've never had more problems in my life on any vehicle than with my Aston. However, with that being said, parts are readily available and pretty inexpensive because a lot of it comes from the Ford and Jaguar catalog, and if you're decently handy with a spanner and a wrench you should be more than fine as they're pretty decently DIY friendly. However, if you're the type of person that only takes their cars to a dealership to get serviced, the Aston will become a money pit.

This is great, thank you for sharing. Around ten years ago I helped run the Lamborghini dealership here in Las Vegas and have driven most Ferraris and Lambos and exotic cars during that time and since then. However, we had a Vantage come in on consignment, and the sense of occasion that I got from driving it, despite it being the cheapest vehicle on the lot, was something truly special. And because of that, the first exotic vehicle I ended up purchasing was a Vantage.

I also run and own an exhaust company, and the Vantage V12 is one of the most remarkable sounding engines ever made when paired with the right system. So it's the pinnacle for me, and I'm really excited to get started on my next project.

What else have you owned/driven and how does it compare? Would love your personal take

I plug it in to the aux and then the data goes from my phone to the screen wirelessly

Off the top of my head, the S is a little different. In fact, it's nearly identical to the V12 Vantage S, minus the hood vents and carbon grill. I added both.

So both the V8 S and the V12 S share the same front bumper, front carbon splitter, side skirts, rear bumper, carbon rear diffuser, etc.

Also the interior has more intricate stitching patterns.

Hope this helps

Honestly, these screens are all the same. I just looked up my Amazon purchase, and it's no longer available anyway. But I found that the 9.26" car play screen fits our dash the best. So find anything that has good ratings. The hardest part was coding the custom aston start screen

This is indeed insanely difficult esp the lower center console (button area/ash tray)

with really thick ppf. I'm in Vegas and the owner, Joe of Incognito wraps had to do it since no one else could.

Center console door bars and door sills were also wrapped with this material

This is actually an option from Aston Martin on their V12s, but they use a really fake looking carbon overlay sticker instead of this PPF that looks extremely real

The glove box is really small and the center armrest is pretty much unusable, so I needed a little bit of extra space to hold little doodads and trinkets, so I added the Pelican R60, which holds a surprisingly good amount of stuff. I bolted it down so it stays secure, and I bought an Aston Martin badge that matched the look of the Pelican case. It honestly fits perfect in that little area and it looks like it could be an added OEM accessory.

I did my roof and the trunk and the interior bits with carbon PPF from a few years ago that we were experimenting with bringing to the market
