So what have you done with your Aston today?

[Birdbrain]

Drove it to work for the first time in ages. Roof down and Bamford Rose noise switch on full hooligan setting. The sound going under motorway bridges is phenomenal.

[rovcallum]

Visit to Garden Centre and Tesco, then on the way home ended up following the wondrous sound of this very car......



It wasn't hanging around either. Well done that driver!

[V8LM]

Got to fit a CarPlay module in the Le Mans (which was supposed to arrive for the trip last weekend but didn't ).

After a lovely day out with my 15 year old son to London yesterday. His first time in the new car. Today we washed it. I say we but he “Volunteered”. One small advantage of having a teenager

I got a new windscreen fitted

[LLaPGoCh]

Received my slats backs from being re-anodised and really pleased with them, good result for £100.
Would recommend Badger Anodising( https://www.badgeranodising.co.uk/ ) in Birminghim if anyone else is thinking of having this done, if you need to talk to anyone then ask for Pete Walsh as he's a top bloke and good to talk to.
You can also have them anodised different colours including a black finish if you fancy a change.

Just need to work out how they fit back together now... hmmmmmm....

My car is being detailed at the moment, collecting it tomorrow, one of the issues I wanted corrected was deep scratches on the anodised grill, detailer wasn't sure how much he'd be able to get them out, I'll see tomorrow but this might be an alternate solution. Thanks for the info.

Mine had some a few stone chips and a scuff which had taken off the top layer of the anodise, nothing major but prefer things to look spot on. Car body repair people couldn't do anything as it's the anodise on top of the polished aluminium which gives it the translucent look.
The refurb includes stripping off the existing anodise, re-polishing and then re-anodising(which they did twice cos they weren't happy with the first set of results). You can see some minor striations from the re-polishing coming through the re-anodise but you need to be up close to see it but that wouldn't put me off, and I suspect if you went for black anodise then these would be completely hidden.

Good luck with the detailer and definitely good to have an alternative rather than a £600 new grille!...

Collected my car from the body repair shop. It’s taken 10 days but worth the wait. Super job and attention to detail. Thanks to Damien at RCP near York. And he charged me less than he originally quoted.

What's it been in for Soofsayer, 10 days taken a bit of time then.

Posted this in the LeMan thread by mistake

Collected my car after a paint correction, Invisifilm PPF install and Ceramic coating.

Tomorrow it goes into Aston Wilmslow to get the driver side wiper replaced.

My only problem after that is stopping the front number plate falling off :/

Window wiper arm replaced and number plate reattached. Now I can stop fussing over it and start driving.

Hi shuzzy

I dropped one of my motorbikes and the bar end put a hole in the front wing just below the headlight washer. Nightmare, entirely my own stupid fault. They had to cut out the damage then do a repair which is plastic composite and reinforced fibre glass, then paint. The repair took a few days more than originally anticipated because Damien kept reinstalling the front light unit after each pass with the sanding compound to get the curve and gap exactly right, which took a lot of time up. Worth it though, looks perfect.

Sorry chaps - went to the dark side:



But that is only a 440bhp DD and done because my true love has been designated a 100% keeper - no really - I mean it this time! I have learnt from past mistakes. She's a KEE-PPP-EEE-RRR!!! All my love care and attention will actually pay off rather then be discarded for middle book at trade up hamster wheel time . No I really mean it! Honest!

Just got my 05 manual DB9 back from Fisher Performance after it had a rear wheel bearing replaced.

Top service being collected and delivered and what a difference, it's like having ear ache immediately stop.

Car feels totally silent now

So off for a magical mystery tour weekend with my good lady, im an about to be given a post code to drove to, let's see what happens!

[S1-NOS]

Good luck if you’re using the in-car sat nav

[macdeb]

Some great pictures on here along with useful information about 'mods' etc. However, am I out of line for suggesting we keep it to the title? (what have you done with your Aston today)

Had my n/s rear light changed under warranty at Cheltenham Aston Martin due to condensation build up - great dealer service. Spent half hour this afternoon realigning the other light for a better fit.

Ha! Don't be daft, Google maps all the way!

Lovely blast through the Cotswolds to a barn for the weekend

Anyone local?
