It looks lovely...I must be one of the few that love the Astro alloys........Would have them over every alloy apart from Stradale ones that is.

That's two of us then Dave...Think they suit the face lift model more and the Grancab...

Don't know the car but it's blooming good value if it's a nice example. If you need wheels, I've a set of Neptunes and Birdcage ones here.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Totally agree on the value front. Per my other posts I really didn't want another black car, but this looks fantastic and drives really well (MC Shift, for me, definitely trumps the Auto). So am on the verge...

I also don't like the Astro wheels - I actually asked if they were smaller as they definitely look it. Anyway, that's easily sorted and I think it would look even better with some gunmetal Neptune's on it...

I just need to get my head around a black car. Considered a wrap but have been advised away from that. Next option is protection film to prevent chips/scratches/bird **** issues...

Decision time today....

(Richard - have emailed you :))

Sorry, don't know the car. Looks nice, but I still can't get on with those Astro alloys! Tridents FTW :)

Agree, worst looking wheels you can get for the GranTurismo.

The advantage of black is that it hides those awful front spoiler flip ups with the Sport has on it's chin. I don't know why they designed that in as you can get the nose right as the both the original GranTurismo and the Stradale show.

Cheap car as Dicky says.

Agree on the wheels they are on mine, needs the MC Strads for the summer I think. So think the Astros will be for winter. Now to play in the configuratior for which ones really work for my Blu Med.

Indeed. But at least I now know where the "sensible price level" is - the not dissimilar cars at over 12k more are going to struggle.

Still, they're not appreciating in value and my Aston has more or less hit the bottom of its curve. It won't be a car I use heavily over winter and next spring there will be more Sports available. Who knows, maybe even an Alfieri or a Blue Med one will come up :)

C' est la vie. Hope the new owner enjoys the car (unless, of course, it was my post that alerted them to jt :)).

A 13000 mile, immaculate 13/13 MC Shift sells at around £67-69k at present, those at £70-£75k don't represent great value, you can get into a 14/14 for that outlay.
