So what have you done with your Aston today? (Vol. 2)
Discussion
Had a refurbed driver’s side rear light fitted today by the very nice people at Aston Installations in Tewkesbury. Yes, I could have saved a few quid by sending the light away, but there’s the risk of it being lost in the post, and the time off the road.
As I suspected, I had a look at their Apple CarPlay solution, which is rather nice, and would mean I could lose the phone holder off the dash. Just trying to justify the not-insignificant cost….

Attended a Cars and Coffee in SW Florida. This is a huge show, about 1000 cars of all stripes. First pic shows my DB11 with bonnet up. Pic only covers about 25% of show as impossible to get a panoramic that big.
Second pic - Driving out of the show is a bit like driving a gauntlet. Out of all these cars, I had the only DB11. There were two other older DB9s

Replaced the 6 year old Bridgestones on my DB9 with Michelin PS4S’s. Oh my, what a difference! If anyone else is running a few year old Bridgestones and feels like they’re getting a bit too much kickback from small road imperfections, do this first!!
For US readers, I ordered my tires from Tire Rack to be drop shipped to the local Discount Tire for installation (they’re the same company now). I didn’t trust them to raise the car from the correct locations or to torque the nuts with the correct two step sequence, so I lifted the car myself on my QuickJacks and took just the wheels in for installation. All went ok.

had it from ECPS - they do a range of carbon bits for lots of sports cars etc - was a few weeks wait but totally worth it and cheaper than AM prices - all carbon fibre but i had it finished in piano black to match the rest of the bits on the car
i had it fitted as recently had the car serviced and left it with the garage for a few days so took the opportunity to get them to fit
im aware its - lights out - wheels off - arch liners out - bumper off to do it though !

Great work - something I'm considering too - could I ask where you got the diffuser from and how it was to fit?? thanks
