As requested, I've twisted arms to get some made and only posting 'coz you asked!

You all know of course that there will be no Aston logo on them.

They are nice stickers, but they aren't actually stickers. They are actually chromed metal shim like material with an adhesive back.
I gold plated mine, easy enough job to do. Depending on what look you're going for, spraying the logo to match the oem badges would work. Black for 'S' cars, green for 9's etc. wink

Any closer to getting carbon ski slopes for the Vantage yet? smile Got my eye on your carbon HVAC control surround and centre panel, just waiting for the ski slope to have the set. Then to find somewhere to get glass buttons smile

Would this cap also fit the 7 Vantage V12 engine cover or are they machined differently inside on the 9's???

Cheers for clarification albeit someone has mentioned on another thread it " could " invalidate any AM or otherwise warrantee on a car and have put their OEM 710 cap back on ?? Valid point possibly.

The billet pas cap is a Land Rover accessory from BRITPART, comes in blue or red anodized (https://www.britpart.com/all-parts/da8895), easy to find off Ebay.
I took the anodizing off by bathing it in drain pipe cleaner (when it's blocked) and then polished it.

Cheap and easy upgrade.
