laughThis has probably been asked many times before but recently a stone has flown up and broken one of my grille uprights, the end one on the N/S. Now I know that these 7 slat grilles are no longer available and a 5 slat grille is recommended as a replacement even though it is a lot of extra work but I want to keep my grille as standard.
Does anyone know of either a complete 7 slat grille or possibly and end upright that might be for sale as I am drawing a blank in my search for either of these.
As if that wasn't enough my N/S rear clear taillight is also starting to mist up, which is a common fault as we all know on these cars, and as it appears that any type of fix seems to be a waste of time so it looks like I will be buying a replacement one of these as well.
Just as well we love our Astons eh

I had an enjoyable and productive day today by, hopefully, sorting out the condensation in my N/S rear light on the DB9. I didn't really want to spend hundreds of £s on a new unit so after reading and digesting the very informative thread on here I decided to give it a go and dismantle the light unit. Actually it wasnt that hard to do and i went the route of resealing the unit with silicon. Only time, and our wonderful British weather, will tell if it has been successful or not but for the moment i am very pleased with the results.
Now i just have to find that illusive 7 slat grille to replace mine with.
