V12 Vantage Sills to V8Vantage Roadster ?

[El Toro]

Anybody done it ?
Any problems doing so ?
Anyone know where a pair of spare sills might be available cheaply ?

Would door seals on a 16,000 mile car need to be replaced at same time ?

I look fwd to your advices....

Thank you.

Axarunner - does that imply one might do that in the U.S but not in G.B ?

Very philosophical, thank you.
T.Butcher of Trinity Engineering Ltd warned me I might catch my high heels on the V12 sills so I will drop that idea after all.
"Thanks for all the fish".

Great stuff - thank you all.
It's the Mrs' car and it's a keeper (her too probably ;-) and as (only)380bhp scares her enough already, Lordy knows what she'd think of a V12 under there !

So purely for aesthetics reasons and now having seen some "before & after" pix and reading someone commenting; "it takes years off the car" I think we will do this now.

Now just need to track down some V12V sills!

[El Toro]

Thank you chaps.
At least some of you "get it".

[El Toro]

Thank you too Lord Brett.

Having seen pics of your Gulf Oil inspired V8VR, you are clearly a student of aesthetics too.
We saw your car at Burghley but unfortunately not at LeMans Classic.

I was convinced you were Jeremy Levenson but apparently, you are not! LOL.

How odd
I've just come off a forum for my other passion - football and as I read the above, I thought I was still there!

If I really wanted another V12, I'd buy one. I have a DB9V already, the V8VR is for THE MISSUS and she does not want any more power.

This car is a keeper and in my opinion (and others), the V12 sills improve the aesthetic. We've also added other bits for the same reason. ITS NOT ABOUT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A V12V, it's about making a beautiful car look even beautifuller - as you will see at Windsor and Compton Verny.
