So what have you done with your Aston today?

[IanV12VR]

Just dropped mine off with Zaff at Project Karma for him to get mine ready for Kensington. What are the chances of there being another V12VR in his workshop. Small you may say but there was. How common

It looked very nice

I decided a little LED upgrade for the car was in order..... So I've swapped the interior lights for soft white LED's



And as my car is green.... I've gone for a green glow in the boot...

Love the soft white LEDs - I put them in my V8V.

Not sure about the green though

Wiped the dust off after being at Brands Hatch last weekend in preparation for our area gathering tonight. There should be over 50 Astons on display and a cool beer, perfect.

It looks like you could have a decent rave in there anyway

I've no idea what a rave is..... Is it similar to a discotheque??

In reply to the topic, drove it into work today. Stopped at M&S to buy cakes (birthday) and noted even at 06:30 all the disabled spaces were full.

Gladly handed back the keys to the courtesy car and got back into my car after its 4th year service. Makes you really appreciate what you have when you have been stuck with a honda for two days

290 mile roundtrip to take Mrs V8 and V8 junior to his graduation ceremony.

Feeling rather chuffed.

Well done on finding a great excuse to take the car out. And well done to Junior

No need to be smug, great achievement, hope the day went well.

Great stuff Mark, glad you're enjoying the beast. Mine's (yours) just back from the garage so it's going to get some miles this weekend. Can't wait!

Hi M

Awesome 2 weeks. Def can recommend the D901 north of Dijon and of course the N85 from Grenoble south

Great fun bombing around Garda through the galleries too. DBS caused a real stir parked up by the lake in Bardolino !!!

Will pop a coupke of pics up when get time

I've done this

When I fitted my N400 sills way back in the cold weather, I re used the existing outer seal...the result was not good. The rubber was a bit cracked and miss shaped, and despite using a really good double sided tape, it failed to adhere to the sill properly....so time to buy and fit new ones.... Firstly for anyone needing to know, they're not called door seals.

The official name for the part is margin lower assembly.... They're handed, and cost about £25 quid each...

New sill


Old seal


Where it fits


New seal


How I did i
First I removed all traces of old glue and adhesive, and then used a panel wipe to degrease the new surface




Then I pulled the inner door seal away from the door frame


I then positioned to top edge of the seal, and clipped the small plastic retaining pin into its hole


I carefully positioned the seal before removing any of the backing tape


Then I started to stick the seal down, a few inches at a time


More of the same.... Carefully position, then pull back a bit of tape and stick down






Finished job
