![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
Tuner Tuesdays: Japanese tuners craft baby Aston Martin
Japanese car mod specialists DAMD and ANCEL have teamed up to produce this "BLACK x METAL" version of the Nissan 350Z roadster. We don't have a lot of details on this Aston Martin lookalike, but a picture's worth a thousand words, as they say. DAMD wheels, Lambo doors and a hand-stitched leather interior are highlights. We're left wondering if there's a James Bond DBRS 350 version in the works. Combine the "BLACK x METAL" with the Miata AMX07 and it looks like we have a burgeoning industry of Aston wannabees on our hands.
There are lots of pictures and video of the luxury Fairlady over at Nihon Car, but here are a few teasers for your viewing enjoyment after the jump.

The bumper cover is interesting, but otherwise this seems like a huge waste. The Miata AMX07 is painfully ugly, but another company made a 2nd gen bumper kit that actually looked pretty good (bottom third of page: http://www.miata.net/products/hot/frosty03.html), I think they're out of business now though.

could have used a G35 and swapped in the Z hardparts to give it a bit more room and ricer, err uh, nicer ass.

Wow, those wheels are horrible and I've seen kit cars with better interiors. Grill, body and doors is ok.

Looks like as if Aston Martin DB9 and Spyker mated and had kids with a touch of bling.

Bond's reaction would probably be closer to, "Madame, would you be good enough to move this inverted bedpan!"
