just got mine done recently, david appelby, very reasonable priced. painted by aston martin/ charles hurst pm me for prices. v12 imo are alot more aggressive than the n400 sills, as i said imo

N400 are kind of smoother in their lines.
Your choice will depend on your wheels, colour of car and what looks good to you.

I went with the N400's on mine...... Really I don't think there is a wrong choice.... You either prefer the rounded N400 shape, or the more angular S shape..

Both look great - I think Eoin's 20" wheels required the V12 sills though whereas Luna's V8 19" wheels would look good with either.

Whichever one you pick, you'll want the other

I am new to the forum. I have a 2007 Vantage V8 Roadster. I would like to change the sills, and am looking for information on how the V12 Sills fit . I read somewhere that there is a gap between the wheel arch liners at the bottom where the sill meets the liner. Is the gap that pronounced?
Also, do the N400 Sills fit better around the wheel arch liners?

[leerandle]

At the time of buying the V12 sills for my V8, Astonmartinbits were cheaper than David Applebly engineering. I definitely prefer the more aggressive V12 look. You will also need some seals as they generally become damaged when removed. If you google Aston Martin side sills fitting, a lovely youtube video will pop up and show you how to do it.

Here you can see some before and after I put the v12 ones on.

Jibberingloon,

Very impressive, with the bonnet as well! Is there a gap between the rear wheel arch liner and the back of the V12 Sills, or did you change the wheel arch liners? If there is a gap - how big is it?

Thank you

V12 for me

[rog007]

Stop it please! I said I was going to keep mine standard.

I'm putting on clear rear lights next week but that's it....

[kbooker]

V12 sills for me, however the original smooth lines can't be bettered....

Your car looks great especially Witt the new sills! Is that tungsten silver? What you use to polish it, it's looks fab

I think you should. They all look great, but original (standard) looks best IMO.
