Didn't have too much of a look at it, but did spot it in the showroom, it's a nice looking thing.

That does look nice, 5k price drop as well today.https://www.top555.co.uk/stock/details/Aston-Marti...
I did very much the same thing as that ^^^^^^
Wash, dry, (it was clayed last week), cleanser, DA Polisher and Megs 105 on the roof and tailgate (as these had some heavier marks), then whole car DA polisher and Megs 205, followed by whole car DA polisher and Menzerna SF 4500.
Then a hand applied coat of Jetseal 109. Waiting for some Soft99 Fusso wax to finish it all off.
Then I fitted a remote controlled relay for the exhaust valve fuse. One of these:

Looked like this before I put it all back in it's box and made it nice and tidy:
Works great. Resets to standard when ignition is turned off. When running press remote to open valves and press again to close.
Then I cleaned the driver's seat bolsters with some cleaner/degreaser and applied a bit of dye to sort out a few wear marks.
Feel quite satisfied now......

Yep very easy, but you need a crimping tool.
You do need to crimp 2 spade terminals onto the end of 2 wires and a ring terminal onto another (the earth) but apart from that it's just connecting wires into the relay box with a screwdriver.
I can try and do a bit more of a step by step if it would help.

in Sweden. Ouch i can feel the tax man.
I bought a used one. No tax on the purchase, fortunately. Though the money I bought it with has of course been heavily taxed!The only tax I'll be paying is the annual vehicle tax, around £550 for a DB9. And of course the city entry/exit tolls (£1-£3 depending of time of day).
