Given that one is a Volante it's an easier decision as it won't get out as much!

Out of interest, where did you get the volante's fitted cover and how much?

Thanks

Are those mats OEM?

"N" for Nuts or Nirvana or Nuisance or just Noisy?

Finished polishing and waxing Kermit then took him for his first run out - a nice blast around some of the reservoirs around Harrogate!

To say I'm pleased would be a bit of an understatement, and the sound once you press on with the cat bypass is insane - I love it!

How does the cat bypass work?

If you would be so kind as to drop me a pm - I'm looking to replace the mats in my DBS and these look perfect.

Would be interested in where you got the mats too - I returned my OEM ones - absolutely useless. And now after modifying 4 paper templates and posting them to the (recommended by many 'carmats4u') they say they never received them so I'm back to square one again.

Cheers

Looks good. What make lift have you got? Are you pleased with it?

Yes I'm REALLY happy with it. I got it from Automotech Services, lifting capacity of 3.6tons, but not really relevant. What made it stand out from competitors was 12 different locking positions, speed of lift/drop comes with ramps and importantly drip trays (it IS an Aston after all so expected to leak oil!)

This time of year leaving the Volante on top makes sense, but once the weather is nice can easily swap them around or leave one on the driveway.

Bit of work to do yet, need add a wall behind, damp proof the area, paint it and make it a 2nd man cave

Sorry Scooby I can't remember, somewhere from Ebay a couple of years ago. Good fit though and a nice soft material

That's a shame,
I had a good experience with them and modified their template for my car. I wanted more length



and they obliged

[N90LTD]

i had a very good experience with them too, very helpful and fast and did a great job on our boot mats

Nice! When I meet my mates I'm surrounded by VW and Audi hatchbacks. None of them are remotely interested in beautiful cars. I think I need some new mates!

Great to meet up again yesterday Adam.

Love the blue/green pics!

I changed the windscreen washer pump and then found it still didnt work I then closed the bonnet and it did Software engineers!!!



I noted a lot of electrical gubbins at the top of the wheelarch after removing the wheelarch - was a bit surprised by that really as its not the driest of places. I therefore suggest those of us with power washers keep it pointing WELL AWAY from the side strakes' mesh!

They look sealed to me

Driven it to the farm shop to get beetroots and kiln dried logs for the wood burner. Just got in, but forgot the fire lighters... dammit, I'll have to go out in it again
