Anyone know where I can source some better looking knobs than the standard plastic stuff they seem to fit to everything including the One 77? Something akin to the finish of the V12V gearstick etc.

Had a look on Sarah Maynard's site and saw nothing but I am sure I have seen them somewhere.

not sure if they are ali but definitely silver !

Started on the Rapide, then the Virage and now fitted to the whole 2+2 range I believe - one assumes they will make their way to the Vantage too

They were plastic in my old one

Do the new ones look like they would be a direct replacement? They do look much nicer. Guessing about £160 each?

The seat controls, column stalks and window switches the only things that cheapen the interior.

AM seem to have fixed the seat controls.
Sarah Maynard does some shiny ends for the column stalks, but they don't look too convincing in the pictures.
But those window switches look like they came from the original Vantage! Mine are iridium but that only makes the b****rs more noticeable.

I have just fitted the SM column stalk end bits but not the ones from the website - they don't sell them separately but she had an early design sample which was just plain anodised finish like the rest of the interior switches on the V12 (not sure if it is the same on the V8) and they are a perfect match and look great - really recommend them if she has any more.

Would like to see those.

V8 & V12 are identical apart from the terminator knob in the middle and CF door handles

I think from the front seats forwards DB9 & DBS are the same too
