Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Sills
Discussion
Hi, I have a Jan 2009 v8v, I really would like N400 sills fitted. I have been quoted an obscene amount from the Aston Martin dealer to fit and paint. Can anyone tell me where I can have these supplied, painted, fitted to include the paint protection film to the rear arches. The car is Onyx Black.
Hi, where where you quoted around £800.00, I would like them to do the N400 sills on my car, Aston Martin Dealer quoted me £2400.00 to supply, fit, paint, rubbers and paint protect film at lower rear arch. Please can I have the garage details from where you got your quote of £800.00?
whoa, thats crazy! You can get the carbon fibre front splitter and rear diffuser (which comes with a new front bumper I am told) for £2400 which seems far more for the money.

Im thinking about trying to get a deal on the carbon fibre pack and N400 sills at the moment.
I will send you a PM with the dealers name, but shop around as you can get a good discount on parts and labour if you ask about.

Adam, could you drop me a line with where you got that quote from, too, please?http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/worksservice/option...

Was wondering if it was worth getting a mould of the carbon fibre bits made up and having a few sets of them done in fibreglass to get the cost right down on them. An extra 2kg of weight is easier saved through avoiding a couple of kebabs, I fear!

What do you call an obscene amount?? Im considering these and have been quoted around £800 for them fitting to my Onyx black 2009 4.7 vantage. I didnt think that was too bad to be honest????
Where were you quoted £800? The lowest price I was qouted was in the region of £1200I PM'd steadfast with the dealers so I guess hes called them now and the best price is £1247 after all. Still £1200 is a lot better than £2400.
Looking back now I think the £800 quote was at the time of buying the car so I guess dealer was going to do them at cost as a favour. I had another quote at £1200 so if you can get them for £1200 that sounds about right.

I must be in a minority, but I'm not a great fan of the chunky sills. They don't seem especially elegant.
I think you are. The dealer I was in the other day had 90% of their used V8's fitted with them. Side by side the normal sill'd cars now look too slim, a tad girly and lacking 'grrr' factor!Adam2S said:

Duly noted as I can see me doing this over the winter
Or do what I did - put the money towards a V12V instead! The sills would like a lot better if the car sat 15mm lower, but I'm not about to mess with a very good suspension set up!
