Well that’s made the front end much nicer and the tiny headlights more in proportion

A nice before and after shot would have helped.

Re: FAO Mito
Ah, i think I was distracted by the mention of grill, like the actually grill was the addition - it’s really “whole front bumper”.
It is much better.

Re: FAO Mito
It might do but I find the standard grill looks like an unfinished kit car

Re: FAO Mito
Aston has designed themselves into a cul de sac by sticking so slavishly to the Ian Callum design points. It’s nice to see them trying new things, even if it is baby steps.
An absolute unit
Re: FAO Mito
I’m indifferent about it - I don’t mind the outside too much, it’s the really odd centre console that gets me and is sadly inflicting every new Aston
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: FAO Mito
I don’t know if it’s the lower buttons and toggle switches but it’s very fighter plane-esque to me.

Re: FAO Mito
I think that modified grille is better but ironically I think could have been a bit bigger...
Re: FAO Mito
Yeah that looks nicer, but also more trad. I wonder how many owners will feel compelled to change? Won’t be cheap and you’ll need to declare mods....
Re: FAO Mito
Lower half is ok. It’s the air vents, especially the wonky ones on the sides and the mid 2000’s era awkwardly plopped afterthought of a small sat nav which does it.Orange Cola wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 3:15 pm I don’t know if it’s the lower buttons and toggle switches but it’s very fighter plane-esque to me.

Re: FAO Mito
I wonder what AM'll come up with for a facelift now that route's been claimed by the aftermarket?

Re: FAO Mito
The whole dash looks like some sort of ( admittedly well finished ) kit car, with random buttons, switches and vents from all sorts of different donor cars all slapped on and sort of moulded in, it just doesn't look like a cohesive mainstream design that's had any real thought put into it.

Re: FAO Mito
Interestingly their improvement to the rear (on the right) is even better I think. Makes the standard design look badly resolved.
Re: FAO Mito
Speaking on the topic of subtle changes I’ve seen a few Discovery 5s with the number plate on the boot being in a central position rather than offset. I guess after seeing a few I assumed it was changed by Land Rover themselves but it seems not. So quite a few people are willing to change these things.
