Can you Replace the 7 bar grill on a DB9 for the 5 bar grill

[SteveMor]

Does anyone know if you can change the 7 bar grill for the later 5 bar grill on a DB9?

I seem to remember from somewhere that you need to remove the front wings & bumper as you also need to change the grill surround, is this correct, or not?

Seems extreme if the wings & bumper need to be removed. Any help/feedback appreciated

Thanks Steve

I think the 7 bar grill looks better IMO . When Aston went to 5 bar my initial thought was cost cutting measure!

If you are going to change your grille then consider the grille from a DBS. It has 2 small groves in it that follow the small grove on the bonnet which looks a lot better.
