Fibreglass wings on an Aston? FFS! In that case why is it so heavy and why do they cost so much? They seem to be even worse than I thought.

It was her way of telling him that an MC Stradale was way more cool than the Aston.

You know the DBS wings, bonnet bumper and boot lid are all carbon fibre. The new Aston is adding carbon side panels to the mix too. I know because I saw it today. I also saw the new Porsche 918 in bare carbon fibre Long with some of the F150 (although a lot less of this) panels...

I thought that carbon fibre was basically black and the photo clearly shows a white residue similar to fibre glass. Tbh, I also thought that Aston wings were aluminium like a Maser. It doesn't matter to me though, I'll never be buying one.

I have a mate technical authoring at Gaydon for a few years now,those Astons and Jags so he says are rubbish...They have a Maser Quattroporte over there for tech analysis...guess what car they all want to take home for the weekend

When I did some work there for Toyota on the Cygnet I was told not to go there in my Masser funny that.

I think there's a market opportunity here,.......perhaps some Aston Martin hide chews for the more discerning pet owners.

007 --->Thats so magnetic mines can't be attached to the car and also when it flips over it turns into a boat.
