Interestingly most (I hesitate to say all) DB2/4 MkIII convertibles were fitted with the DBD engine. The twin exhausts were, of course, an option on DBA engines cars. wink

Can I ask how you managed to get the stone guards on the VantageS? I was under the impression they didn't fit the S or V12V side skirts.

I have seen it done before, however it was a custom job! If you can buy them to fit now then i'll be on the phone to the dealer tomorrow.

I warmed them up in hot water before fitting them.
I had to enlarge the lower hole to a slot to get it under the screw.
The front edge of the V12 sill is not that much different to the standard sill.
It is a wheel off job though.

Other than that very straight forward.
Now the DB9 guards DO NOT fit the Vantage wink

Fantastic. Now I will get them fitted to my V12V when I have the winter tyres swapped back.

Went to Cambridge for the weekend, and came back to the car on Sunday morning to this:



Car is usually covered AND garaged, so must have felt very neglected frown

A sad sight indeed. I feel your pain though!



Wasn't quite as bad as yours, but it was twice as deep as on the picture the following morning.

Cheaper to buy a Fiesta than insure him on that, I'd have thought.

Lets hope there isn't a reverse uphill round a corner on the actual test!
