EFA ;)

Somehow I think I'd take the black 458 they have in stock and £100k in change.

ETA and I'm sorry but Aston have fucking ruined the Vantage haven't they. Jesus - it's as ugly as the new DBS Superleggera is pant wettingly beautiful.

No, no they haven’t.

They’ve gone more aggressive than sleek with the new one but it looks great to me.

GG- see one in the flesh and it'll all make sense. It's sensational.

Battership grey does it no favour.

I have yet to see one properly (only seen one very briefly whilst driving).

Fair enough - I'll wait until I see one in the reals.

I guess brighter colours may suit it better - pretty much the opposite of the old one then.

I think it works on the Wide body Evora.

Doesn’t work on the Vantage, but I like it on the gen1 Gallardo Superleggera. Porsche Fashion Grey / Crayon Grey look good too, but there’re better colours for both the Gallardo and the 911.

I’d expect battleship grey to be matt or at the very least satin so none of the cars pictured in this thread qualify.
How about not having a sig at all?

It looks way better when shiny, like the paint is 1" thick.

You're not wrong. I thought they'd gone and changed it to get it right again when I saw Carfection's video on the Vantage V600 and then realised it was actually the old Vantage which looks even more gorgeous in comparison:

A very very bright red RR sport passed me the other day. Would not have picked it out of a catalogue but on a foggy winter's day it looked grand. I think it was a matte wrap.

Can we clarify if battership is a shade in it's own right or whether we are going with Mito's more usual spelling of the shade in question?
