I notice they have sensor mounts built right in. That indeed makes it easy. Hopefully the quality is far better than the Paramount equivalent.

I found out more info about the product. Although the price is not bad, the grille doesnt come painted gloss black it comes in a raw matte black color, I guess that's why it costs less.
Statement from Veizus website
When the grille comes out of the mould it will be supplied in matt plastic. If you decide to opt for a body shop fitting then the grille is often painted before the fitting takes place. This provides the grille with a finished look.

I actually prefer matte black to gloss for all of the nose pieces. To my eye it gives it a functional metal appearance rather than a cheap plastic look. I wrapped all my gloss black pieces with matte wrap.

I’m not a fan of matte/flat black on most applications, especially wheels. I think matte/flat black looks a lot like dirty gloss black.
Obviously it’s a matter of taste.

I was thinking of wrapping the front splitter, side vents, and the valance on my Storm Grey v6 in Satin Black instead of Matte Black. I realized I had my P7 Grille Surround painted gloss black, so that would look weird with Satin + Gloss here. Could make it work because the Astons seem to have the Satin + Gloss trim combos. But back to the thread ya it looks like some P7 Grille that omits the middle bar. I don't have the vision package (ugh) so it was easy to swap.

I stand corrected. I had mine done in satin black, not matte.

Just received an email from them, the grill does not have the mounts for the parking sensors just like the real P7 grill.
Was quoted $695 + $95 shipping, how does that compare to a real P7 grill ?

Do not by this product, its the same as the paramount part and the quality is crap.
That car is my friends (Daddy Darren), he now has a genuine P7 grill which he payed a lot for because he was so disgusted with the quality and service he recieved.
Also they never asked him if they could use his car for advertising.
