So what have you done with your Aston today?

[FrankieDBSBee]

The control unit is not fixed to the dash, I just put it there for the picture. I rest it in the ashtray cubby hole. It has 4 presets and the roller is used to go up and down through the frequencies. James at Trackaphone fitted it...great job. I have no affiliation to James' business. Nick and Sukh recommended him to me. PM me for details.

Looks like it uses FM transmitter - bit odd if you have a line in option unless they use the RDS to transmit additional info to the display

All I know is it works!!

And that's all that matters!

I tried one in the centre console with an aerial in the boot and that wasn't great

Careful not to gild the lily. Last time I saw the interior it looked fantastic, and you now have the lightweight seats to finish it off, which appear to be just the ticket.

You need to get a hobby

Phew. I was on the cusp at mocking the almost seamless factory-spec integration.

A hobby you say Geff . Yes, you're on to something - I like your card collection! I could always follow Bob and collect garage wall signs which are great.

I have one to start my collection:


Got this one in LA at Christmas

But

I think I am more a caravan sort of geek, maybe this is more me, Cadwell Park - next outing

Kind of you to say so Jeff, sort of. BTW, sorry you'll not be at Cadwell.

Note: I'm not retiring age quite yet,,,in my head not even the notion exists and its wonderful.

Indeed. You lose the dab quality which is kinda (usually is) the reason for doing this.

Thanks buddy, Teaspn is 99% finished. Clear switches going in currently - that's my last activity for the Will's Qustomise
The only parts on my car not replaced with new parts were, steering assembly, torque tube, washer bottle reservoir, ABS system and rear exhaust box (oh all main body panels) - virtually makes a new car !

And thats all I wanted mine for

[northernmedia]

Carbon handles & strakes fitted.

[Jibberingloon]

nice

How hard to fit the handles and side strakes?

I have them sat in a box in my office waiting to be done

Well apparently my paint shop don't want to be doing any more in a hurry!

The door handles are a complete PITA due to over engineered door cards / fixings and no space.
The strakes were easier although the passenger side is nigh on impossible due to the ecu getting in the way.
£200 notes well spent!

[Jibberingloon]

looks like a lot of ball ache on the way then!

ahhahahahaa

Fitted

Glass buttons now fitted:

Why can't AML fit these classy switches as standard in all AM's? Am I right in thinking that DBS & Vanquish II are the only models as standard with glass buttons?
