Re colour. The light grey is winning for me. It shows the shapes of the car off by giving high and low lights. Will also show off all your grilles. Let alone it’s probably the best colour for resale. Keep it classy!
Chris...you've created what we all want. A usable 4.3 Vantage that looks like a V12...but you can actually use it !. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I've got a 2007 V8v...and absolutely love driving it. Keep up the good work.
I love seeing this beauty resurrected! For a color I would suggest a red that in the sun has an orange flake that makes you believe it blurs the line with orange. That color would contrast beautifully with the carbon. Hopefully the interior is something that is flexible to exterior color change.
My choice of colour would Le Mans Gulf Blue with Orange detailing. It would allow all the carbon accents to show, especially on the very expensive bonnet, as the bonnets vents would be lost if you went for a dark colour. If you want the car to really stand out, then have a look at Aston Martin's Racing new Gulf livery. Its bound to put a big smile on your face everytime you open the garage door, and an even bigger smile once you're driving about in your newly finished AM V8 Vantage. 👍👍
Looking good mate. The service indicator is reset via pressing dash buttons (see youtube) Check out Aston Martin colours lightning Silver and Xenon Grey (immense metallic!!) I would stick with an OEM Aston colour for resale value. The bonnet warning is a FoMoCo sensor which attaches to the slam panel. They go wrong regularly when fitted but can be eliminated by splicing the wires together.
If you like the outrageous colours, yellow would look so good with the aggressive bonnet and all the carbon accents! Great vid- can’t wait for the next one 💪
Cracking video chris mate, looking so mean and moody now. colour for me would have to be bright orange or lambo-lime green. bit of advice for the open cone filters mate due to where they are sitting would be to get a breathable cone filter sock on each one as road rash and water could end up getting sucked up. ive just bought some ramair cones for the jag........that charger is gonna whine now :) keep up the great work and once this damn heatwave is over i will swing over to you buddy.
I would go for Viridian Green or Lime Essence from the newer Vantage. Aston Martin and green are a perfect combination and the extra carbon you have will be an epic contrast. Great content!
Difficult to tell from the video, but the front parking sensor setup looks like it might be XVision kit that many dealers fit. There’s usually a little push switch or rocker switch for it tucked away on the dash. Worth a Google and see if it looks the same. Good luck! Do love a Vantage and good progress.
Brilliant video once again, I’m loving the transformation of this build. How about a purl white or nardo grey with all the carbon if your liking the silver wings. It will definitely have some presence once finished. ✌️
Stainless steel bolts and no cable ties on hand, yep, that right there is the sign of decent quality work, subscribed and off to explore your other videos :) On a side note, what the heck were Aston Martin thinking putting those filter so flippin low down! Crazy, watch out for puddles lol.
Get the side skirts to reall top it off!! Nice vantage bro!
Baby blue would look incredible
It’s got to go British racing green with that kit on, will contrast the carbon perfectly

Found you through watching Mat Armstrong and have to say, you’re doing a great job.
Defo lime green with that carbon

I like the light grey colour, but also can see it in a dark green
lime green !
British racing green👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
The colour of the wings would look awesome for the whole car :)
Still making way through keep going!
With the combo of Matt Armstrong and Chris my UA-cam is started to look nice nice again… good luck with this car G
Im all for outrageous colours but that grey is stunning
Wicked little builds. Went through and watched all the old ones to catch up. Wicked little channel
Did I see Mat sporting a pair of Prada sun shades helping you out wrapping your Wrap?
Mate loving this build. Colour wise it’s gotta be a mega bright orange. It would look amazing with all that carbon..
Has to be Karussell Orange. Those carbon accents will really pop alongside this colour.
I think Volcano Red would be a very good colour for this - distinctive but classy!
I love seeing this beauty resurrected! For a color I would suggest a red that in the sun has an orange flake that makes you believe it blurs the line with orange. That color would contrast beautifully with the carbon. Hopefully the interior is something that is flexible to exterior color change.
Awesome video I did almost the exact same thing on my 2008 V8 vantage roadster.
Regency red looks spectacular
The color would be light green metallic !
The AMG Gt Green would be crazy cool.
Great channel and great video.
For my 2 cents worth my two favourite car colours are White and Yellow.
Satin burnt orange 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Candy metallic gray purple by VinylFrog…its amazing and its wrap

congratulations on 10K subscribers bro huge milestone dope content as always!!!
matts done the same with carbon looks good
Copying him
Vantage Racing Green would be amazing on this!!! Looking good buddy. Just wish u uploaded more often!!! 😜😎
The Carbon panels look mint.
How about Baby Blue Hue with the Carbon vents lacquered.
Great video
Pearl white looks amazing on an Aston
Candy apple red for the Colour it will make the carbon pop🥵🔥
making good progress mate great content looking forward to how this is going to come out 👍
Metallic Gun Metal Grey could look good?
Loved the video, beautiful looking car
Nice work Chris see your perfection in detailing as carried over into this project, I like aston Buckinghamshire Green
You can keep the gray color and compliment it with some bright color striping or accents.
If you like the outrageous colours, yellow would look so good with the aggressive bonnet and all the carbon accents! Great vid- can’t wait for the next one 💪
Great video mate, changing them nuts and bolts for fresh ones has appeased OCD
Cars coming together now and looking awesome!
British racing green all day
Ooh yeah, what was that green that the 309 gti came in all those years ago? Was it Goodwood green?
When you initially bought the car I thought how nice would it look with the V12 bits, amazing 👏 my choice of colour would be white with black carbon.
👌
Sick sick SICK ! I told you bruv
Making some sick progress on this one. Can’t wait to see it all finished!
Amazon content, always improving one video after the other! Keep it up!
I would paint the car in Mako Blue or Goodwood Green!
Doing a great job
, AML racing Green or an orange AML colour
.
Chris I would go white with a blue pearl so the carbon stands out but that might be to plain for you. What about ford focus rs heritage orange.
Have you taken any inspiration from mat Armstrong on any of this build?
China grey with zaffre blue accents balanced but bold
Red with black wheels and a big C.V ariel
Look sweet what a dream car 👍👍👍
Your videos just get better and better mate keep up the good work 👌
Cracking video chris mate, looking so mean and moody now. colour for me would have to be bright orange or lambo-lime green.
bit of advice for the open cone filters mate due to where they are sitting would be to get a breathable cone filter sock on each one as road rash and water could end up getting sucked up.
ive just bought some ramair cones for the jag........that charger is gonna whine now :)
keep up the great work and once this damn heatwave is over i will swing over to you buddy.
Pale blue!
Do you use the Amazon brake sensor wires?
I would go for Viridian Green or Lime Essence from the newer Vantage. Aston Martin and green are a perfect combination and the extra carbon you have will be an epic contrast. Great content!
I would be adding some plastic ' skid plates" on the bottom of the front splitter, invisible when fitted.
Congrats on 10k
Surely it has to be British racing green
Aston Martin Green
Aston Martin hyper red or cosmos orange would look🔥
What about doing it the green off the new vantage the one they use in f1 as the safety car
Difficult to tell from the video, but the front parking sensor setup looks like it might be XVision kit that many dealers fit.
There’s usually a little push switch or rocker switch for it tucked away on the dash. Worth a Google and see if it looks the same.
Good luck! Do love a Vantage and good progress.
such fun watching you great content my bro
Awesome video Chris
Go for something greenish, goes good with the carbon and keeping it Aston.
Looking good love the bonnet
Fuck me that body kit is INSANE!!!!!! Love it Cris x
Great progress
I reckon you should get Mat to wrap it, maybe a dark purple. It’s good to see you making great progress!
Here at 10k subs, will comment again when you hit 100k
Feel free to pop by every so often until then! We may be waiting a while 🤣
a nice sky blue would stand out and look inusual
Did you an mat go to the Aston Martin racing team together to get parts!
Putting the bonnet on the dining table! That’s a table with pockets in the corners! Just like the Beverley Hillbillies posh eating table! Ha Ha.
It is looking incredible, looking forward to the next one. 👍👍👍👍
Love to see the progress, top work 👍
Enjoying your content, especially this build! Can I ask where you secured the parts from? Busy with a front end damaged V12 Vantage here too...
Is it a convertible or a coupe your doing buddy?
@@Chris_Slix 2014 V12 Vantage S Coupe...could drop you some pics...
@@xpresscarparts73 send em over man may be able to help ya!
@@Chris_Slix email?...
I’d go white with a carbon roof to go with the bonnet 😮💨
Amazing video but im still waiting for new uploads on the 135i
Astons are such classy looking cars, have loved them like forever! 😍 And nooo I'm not in the least jealous... Just give it to meee... 😁
Coming along nicely fair play 👏🏻👏🏻
What’s the plan for paint? Wrap?
Looking good m8 can't wait for what colour your goin to have 👍👍👍
Great series well done 👏🏻👏🏻
Good job chris !!
Brilliant video once again, I’m loving the transformation of this build. How about a purl white or nardo grey with all the carbon if your liking the silver wings. It will definitely have some presence once finished. ✌️
Get mat to wrap it silver and satin black????
That's a crazy good price! Here in Sweden I don't think you could get one under £40-50k...
Can I have the pleasure of delivering it?
Le mans Blue.
Cant believe how far this has come in such a short time 😂 Looks quality! Serious car for 16k 👌🏼
Another great video Chris. Love the carbon 😍 I think to bring that carbon out, paint it candy red! Nice and vibrant just what you like 😂
Such original content keep it up!
Stainless steel bolts and no cable ties on hand, yep, that right there is the sign of decent quality work, subscribed and off to explore your other videos :) On a side note, what the heck were Aston Martin thinking putting those filter so flippin low down! Crazy, watch out for puddles lol.
White would be....noice👌
Chris do the grey color
Loving the progress! Close guess with the body kit. Probably just cheaper 😂
Not far off 🤣 only a couple grand in it!
I think yellow or something like a burnt orange would look nice
Lovely job 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking good mate
Brilliant content, like Matt Armstrong but better. Paint the car something lairy like bmw San Marino blue
