JULY 2008 - VANTAGE POINT

One could argue that with a vehicle as good looking as an Aston Martin, there is little need to gild the lily, as it were. However, Nicholas David, a talented young British designer with an entrepreneurial vision, sees things differently. With several years experience gained whilst designing concept cars for some of the most prestigious studios in both Europe and the USA , he has developed a range of aftermarket parts and accessories, which present a unique offering to the Aston Martin owner.

The Vantage Collection™ enables the customization and enhancement of the Aston Martin Vantage, DB9 and DBS, with further models to follow. Designed and built to the highest quality by industry professionals, the carbon fibre body parts offer a weight saving functionality, whilst retaining a level of finesse in keeping with the style of the vehicle. A custom designed range of luxury lifestyle accessories contribute to an ever-expanding range of tempting goodies for the Aston Martin enthusiast.

As Creative Director of the company, Nicholas ensures that when it comes to the finer details, there is no compromise:

“Too many aftermarket parts out there lack the carefully designed details and flawless finish that concept cars showcase. In designing The Vantage Collection, I felt strongly that the quality of these added extras should complement and enhance the vehicle, not detract from it.”

Available online, and with worldwide shipping, the collection is easily accessible to all Aston Martin owners, and has already sparked interest from Aston Martin dealerships in the Los Angeles area, where Nicholas now resides.
