I want to replace the polished door sills on my V12 Vantage and replace them in Carbon fibre to match the door pulls. Any recommendations?

Thanks

You've a few options if you want them in real carbon.
You can ask Q, but dig deep.
V-Collection do some, about £850 I think. - https://www.vcollection.com/products/V8_Vantage_Pa...
Oya Carbon - AM6 $465 + delivery + import duties
Or
Dip or wrap.

NONE of the options I've seen are matt to match the OEM door pulls.

Thanks for the suggestions. I would ideally like real carbon to match the original door pulls. Has anyone tried the V collection ones in the matt finish?

Email them for a picture, I'm sure they will help. First hand viewing of their gloss ones, they are top notch quality.

I emailed him about this, no response.

I have been told most of the aftermarket stuff for Aston come from China, Oya and others.

Has anyone got any comments on the carbon door sills from Oya?

I heard that Aston Martin Cardiff have stock of genuine GT12 Carbon interior parts that are available for current Vantage vehicles. Including sill kick plates, handbrake lever, instrument binnacle covers and a few other bits...............

Try David Appleby Engineering. I was there on Saturday and a customer picked up a set.

My experience with the V-Collection is very bad. I ordered a set of matt-finished carbon fiber door sills last year in February for my V12 Vantage. I was told they had to fabricate them since they didn’t have the matt-finished version in stock. I actually pre-paid for them and shipping in March. I was assured that they would arrive soon. After a lot of calls and emails the V-Collection stopped communicating. I have asked for my money back but get no response. Stay away.

My apologies - I have interior door pulls not the kick plates. My bad!

Kind regards

The N420 has carbon from factory, even if they are smaller. Could it be the effect you are looking for?

Pic shameless stolen from another N420 owner I know. biggrin
