Bought a 2009 DB9 Volante on Friday

I decided Thursday about noon to fly down to West Palm Beach FL and buy a DB9

Here is a link to the carfax, it was serviced at one dealer its entire life

I have a few questions already about the car but I will search the forums before adding them here.
West Palm Beach to Atlanta Friday night, then back home to Lexington KY yesterday.
I had the yellow tape installed to protect it from road debris. it worked except I did get hit with a large rock and it put a dent just above the hood badge. glad it did not scratch the paint.

Lovely car mate - an no pets either! Bonus! Enjoy - but what is this yellow tape thing?
to protect it from road rash during the 1100 miles I put on it in 24 hours PDR should be able to get the hood dent out. without the tape the paint could have been damaged. Glad I went with it. juddcampbell said:

New one on me mate... Interested as could be useful for a few runs.. Pics/info pls?
Lovely car !
A question though, surely if you decided to go on a road trip you wouldn't put the protective tape on it would you, so how come you did for this trip ? Lucky by the sounds of though
I looked at PPF for the whole car.......the prices were silly (for me anyway). They go on about it being cheaper than having to respray, but at anywhere between 4-5k plus VAT i'm not sure, you'd need to be respraying a fair few panels to break that price point, not just touching up some gravel rash.

do the images above of the tape show up for you? They look like broken links for me. I will try just one here. A question though, surely if you decided to go on a road trip you wouldn't put the protective tape on it would you, so how come you did for this trip ? Lucky by the sounds of though

I am going to have a clear bra installed on the car. It will be protected for the next road trip!
