5 extras you should fit on a new Aston Martin Vantage.
We hand-pick 5 extras that we believe you should fit when ordering a new Aston Martin Vantage. Ranging from our favourite wheels to tasty under-bonnet trims.
The Aston Martin Vantage may not be the pinnacle of Aston Martin ownership but that doesn't detract from the fact that it's still an Aston Martin. It may not be a screaming V12 but you will find the tried and tested Mercedes-AMG-sourced M177 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 under the hood. Not only will you be treated to a glorious V8 soundtrack, but the Vantage is also the only way that you will be able to drive this engine while using a manual gearbox as the Vantage actually offers this option.
With 375 kW and 685 Nm available, it's every bit the sports car that Aston Martin wants it to be, at a price that allows you to throw a few additional extras at it in order to make it your own. Aside from the various combinations that one is able to choose from at the time of ordering, there are a few extras that will take the Vantage from baby-Aston status right into full-blown supercar territory.

Here are 5 extras that we think you should fit to a new Aston Martin Vantage.
1. AMR wheels
Nothing transforms the look and feel of a car more than the wheels. Paint colour is important, but trust us on this one. Kit your Vantage out with a set of 20-inch Aston Martin Racing alloy wheels in black with a diamond cut face detail. Round off the combination with a set of high-gloss carbon fibre centre caps with the Aston Martin wings logo.
2. Mirror caps
Standard fare for the Aston Martin Vantage is a set of body-coloured wing mirror caps with the option of making them gloss black. Take this look one step further and show that you're serious about both style and performance with the fitment of a set of carbon fibre mirror caps. Excellent for adding contrast to a light colour, or complementing a dark one.
3. Rear detailing
The back-end of the Vantage is the sight most will see so why not invoke a little envy as you pass them by dressing up the rear of your Vantage with a carbon fibre rear diffuser and carbon fibre tailgate garnish. Once again, this has the ability to complement or contrast depending on your chosen colour.
4. Under bonnet
The Aston Martin Under Body Pack will see your engine bay look like a million bucks (provided you remember to keep it clean!). In this pack, you will get an engine cover, slam panel and V-duct that have all been crafted from high-end carbon fibre for the perfect look. Modern engines are not much to look at, but this will make yours stand out from the crowd.
5. Sport Plus Seats
You only have a few points of contact with the car. The steering wheel and pedals are two, but the biggest change comes in the form of seats. By selecting the Sport Plus Seats you will get additional support and style from the 8-way electronically adjustable seating arrangement in your Aston Martin Vantage.
