Not really..

Those are from the Virage era..

Zagato's had different lenses.. they look far better than those old Jaffa style lenses.

Though what you see there was the official WS upgrade I think.

There is a better looking round conversion available, possibly through Chiltern or somewhere like that.

These lenses looked better on the DB7 in my opinion: http://www.astonmartins.com/db7/images/DSC_7261_db...

I still haven't even had mine painted yet...

The paint guy did call round and look at them and said he'd call me in a few days.. that was approx over a month ago :-/

I need to find a new paint guy who can actually do what I ask, when I ask !!

If I had access to the paint I'd do them myself ;-)

I need to pick your brains a little anyway about my rear blades.. I'll send you an email.

A second attempt:


This one's out of 6mm aluminium, tapering from 15 down to 8mm with a bull-nosed end.



I think I'll try the next one a little wider and maybe a little longer to finish further around on the indicator lens.

Just new to piston heads. I have seen your blades on site really like them. Do you still make them if so how can I get to purchase them. I have a DB7 vantage had it since new 2001. I live in canada. Gregski

Hi Gregski,
Yes I still make these things, I've just recently sent three sets to Australia and a set to Washington, so Canada won't be a problem. Do you know which set you'd like? Set 6 is far and away the most popular:

Hello Mark,

I would love to have a Set 6 in brushed/polished aluminum finish for my 2001 V V in Mint Green. How can I get a set in the USA?

Hi Vigor1,
I still knock out a few sets. I send them out powder coated for you to get sprayed to your car's colour, I'll p.m. you with further details.

Mark.

Mark: I, too, am in the USA and would like to obtain a set of your No. 6 rear light blades for my 1997 i6. If you are still able to offer those, can you please make contact? Many thx.

I'm likely being a muppet here, but, Mark, I have not received your email. Do you have an alternative, non-pistonheads weblink through which I can contact you as an alternative?

Nice job Malcolm.

I recently sent a set to Florida, also a Volante. He was kind enough to send pictures too:

Would be great if there were some lights in the style of the Mark one Vanquish that would fit.

Hello
I have just bought a DB7 Vantage Volante and one of the first things I would like to do to it is to add a pair of these blades, to improve the looks of the rear lights - does anyone know if Mark is still making them?
I appreciate that this is an old thread, but i can find any links online for purchasing.
Thanks and hope someone can help.
Simon
