The British are Coming

While we were cleaning out from the Blizzard of 2013, one of our good clients decided to pick up a new toy. Something very reliable in the snow and cold of Boston, a 2013 Aston Martin Vantage S. You may not be able to call our client's the smartest bunch, but they have heart and love their sports cars. He decided he was not very happy with the factory appearance of the car, and wanted to talk to us about some options...

(2013 Aston Martin Vantage S dropped off for some vinyl work)

After some discussion we determined to add some carbon fiber vinyl wrap to the car's interior and bring out some subtle sportiness. All aluminum trim would be wrapped in 3M 1080C Carbon Fiber along with the entire center console and navigation surroundings. In order to ensure the best wrap possible, it is always preferable to remove each trim pience and wrap it out of the car in its bare form. This avoids most creases or poor workmanship. So we began dismantling the interior as soon as he left...

 

(always a scary sight- entire center console and electronics removed)

   

(center console and nav screen all wrapped)

(every button; including push start button, is removed to ensure full coverage of the wrap to look factory)

Completing a long day, we finally had a car back together and looked much more sporting...

    (entire center console tunnel and even cup holder all finished up)

(door handles done to continue the c/f theme)

 

(side sills removed and wrapped)

After finishing up the interior, we decided to add a bit of carbon fiber hues to the exterior in order to really coordinate the Aston's stock cf front and rear splitter together. We didn't want to go overboard, so we just covered the mirrors and rear taillight inserts to accomplish our goal...

(tail light inserts wrapped)

(side mirror covers help compliment the c/f theme from front to back on the Vantage S)

Overall, we are quite pleased with the subtle outcome. It looks factory and lays the groundwork for whats to come in the near future (a full vehicle wrap). This is one Aston that will stand out from the norm, while most likely still being stuck in any form of snowfall... but at least it will look good.
