Click to enlarge any of the pictures below. The front and rear bumper, as well as all the other chrome/aluminum trim, are almost flawless. Hood gaps are even. Excellent grill. Lights (F+R) without scratches (clear and crisp). Excellent chrome around lights (F+R). All light functions/positions operate correctly, hi-lo beams, the reverse light, the parking lights, turn signal indicators and fog lights. The original color of DB 291 Dark Olive is presented through an older re-paint (09/2002) and it shows well (this car was always garaged and covered). There are some (barely noticeable and insignificant) touch-ups, which does not affect the overall apperance of this beautiful car. The paint shows nice gloss and depth. Rubbers around windshields (F+R) were exchanged at the same time of paint, they are soft, elastic and without cracks. The body panels are straight (just a couple of minor dents/imperfections), sightlines are good and gaps are excellent. Based on the paperwork and visual inspection, this car has never been in any type of accident. By sunset the car's paint looks very dark, it almost looks black bringing out the fine contrast between the color and the chrome trim. Tires are new Firestone white wall in its correct size of 185/75/14".
