When you find something, let me know! Vantage Collection in the US do a carbon 'diffuser' but disappointingly it's just a stick-on pice of carbon frown

The DBS rear diffuser is the obvious way but requires a DBS rear bumper and therefore paint as well. Was too pricey for me right now weeping

Bespoke seems to be the way. Ever seen the back of the DB9 Sportomodificato? Give it a google.

I would have thought the best option is a bumper & carbon undertray from a DBS ? ...may as well go for the factory look

How much is a DBS bumper out of interest?
Stevewushu on here has a DBS carbon undertray for sale very reasonably and also knows (or knew) a scrappie with a DBS bumper for 150. It was just too much for me to push the button on right now as I'd have to have it painted too frown

Edited to add - a decent bodyshop could probably modify your DB9 bumper, but probably not for less than 150!

Clear LED lights at the back if they are red ones, maybe with carbon inserts. Are there any headlights from new models with the strip DRL/indicators that fit?


This is a DBS Carbon Edition.

I've just sold my DBS rear bootlid, which I am told is a direct fit to DB9s. I still have the rear carbon diffuser. It's on eBay now but would settle early for an agreed price.

Yeti is correct, it would need db9 bumper modification. Or I could supply the details of a chap who can supply the DBS rear bumper.

Modifying the db9 requires decent quality parts IMO. Otherwise it can look incredibly chavy.
It makes me laugh when I hear the rappers rapping about "pullin' up in da Aston"...
It just conjures up images in my mind of the poor car lowered to road scraping levels on 22" shiny spinning wheels, blacked out windows, skull shattering bass blaring out, and a gangster rapper dressed young hoodie drooping over the steering wheel bouncing his head to the ridiculous pounding of the oversized sub woofer....

Not that I'm stereotyping or anything... hehe

You leave him alone, Luna's alright! tongue out

Hi
Has anyone done any rear bumper modifications already or can someone point me in the direction of a manufacturer or supplier of such items. I am looking for something quality that won't look like a dog's breakfast and is likely to fit properly.
