Premier4509 limited edition body kit for Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Premier4509's V8 Vantage.
Veilside's luxury and exotics arm has already released body kits for the Lamborghini Murcielago and Bentley Continental GT, and now Premier4509 has turned its attention to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Any attempt to improve upon the stunning sheet metal of the Vantage is a risky affair, but Premier4509 seems to have balanced a bit of bling with some measure of restraint. The kit includes a new front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and spoiler that ties in nicely with the shapely lines of the coupe, and the forged, three-piece wheels compliment the aggressive body kit, but will surely compromise the Vantage's already stiff ride.
All the pieces are made up of fiber reinforced plastic and optional carbon fiber accessories will be made available, along with new exhaust tips. Sale will begin in the first quarter of next year and will be limited to 300 units, each with their own numbered serial plate.

why would you want to add a body kit to an aston, bentley, or lambo? and even if you did, why would you buy from a company that sounds like a screenname? it just doesnt make sense to me...

I normally hate body kits on high end cars, but I genuinely like this one. It gives this car a more aggressive look without being over the top.

Companies should not make body kits for Aston Martins. Aside from the Prodrive carbon lip spoilers, which were factory sanctioned, every attempt to dress up an Aston in recent memory has been an utter failure.

bah.
Not as hot as the ZR-1, no sirree.
I bet the ZR-1 could beat this around the ring too, goshdarnit.
Did I mention that the ZR-1 is better? because it is.
I know, because the magazine I just read said so.
ZR-1 all the way.

this isn't bad, but i prefer the stock look on this car. the only thing i don't like about the stock vantage is the front bumper does need something between the grill and the front wheel well. the vanquish has a fog light, and the db9 has an air intake. on the vantage, it has nothing, so it feels like a big mass. i still would love to have one regardless of this one flaw imo. :)

i think this kit is alright... front bumper is a bit overdone but the side skirts make up for it.

Its not really that bad actually. I imagine it might look even better in person, sometimes things like this do.

I actually think this is great. Its a long awaited turn around for Veilside I hope...I've been waiting for years to have Veilside excite me again. This might just do it (reserving full judgment for when there is a real car sporting the kit)
I've written a blog about this which will debut tomorrow on my blog "The Real JDM":

If there is any car in the world that does NOT need a body kit it's an Aston Martin.
The Visual Pollution Society will get these guys for sure.

I rove it a rot. come on people its just a little bit of flair to a relatively conservative design.

The words "Aston Martin" and "Aftermarket bodykit" should never be uttered in the same sentence. This is a prime example of why.
