Not sure if this site has been posted before but I came across this site http://astonmartinbits.com/
I have no connection to the site and never used them but thought it might be useful to share with this forum.

I've used them. They are a LOT cheaper than dealer prices and for new bits also. They have an eBay site too. I bought my used DBS/V12V knob from their eBay site and it was £250 instead of AM's £857 for a new one. It was spotless, about as new as it could be being from a 3000 miler DBS. Even the new one they have listed is £300 cheaper than AM.

So they get my recommendation.

Got my DBS grille from then. Eventually...

Some things are a great price, some are a bit silly. Guess they know their market but I know the garages buy from them as well!!

I've bought two lots of bits from them. Both times they always came very quickly.

Last time it was just a side indicator repeater. They charged me £5 for postage, which I thought was a bit steep. But, when it arrived in a little jiffy bag, 1st class and signed for, the frank was about £4.50. So, it's not astonbits who were ripping me off, it was the Post Office.

I love Astonmartinbits, been very fair with me. Went there to pick up a load of stuff, got talking to the guy and he has WAYYYYY more stuff than is advertised, so don't just look on his site, email for stuff, he should be able to help with anything. wink

Spent a few £1k with these guys and saved a small fortune against new. Nice blokes to deal with and honest about condition of parts, and are very knowledgeable to boot.
