Hello, regular reader of the forum and newish owner (3 weeks) of a 07 plate roadster, with sportshift

Now, havimg spent alot of time detailing the car (sad I know) I have just realised the centre spine of my front grill is missing!!!.

Aston only sell the whole grill, didn't even ask for the price as didn't want to faint in their lovely show room.

Any suggestions? would love to know how this went missing

Ebay.

I'm looking for a couple of parts for a later Vantage. The earlier grilles regularly come up at £355 iirc. It's rare though to find parts and rarer still to find later grilles.

Failing that it's astonmartinbits.com.

The individual pieces of the grille aren't sold on their own, only the whole grille itself. Try finding a damaged one that you can pull apart. I used my damaged one to repair two others a couple months ago haha

I just bought a full set of used vertical pieces from HWM online store, I also considered a used grill off ebay and in one case the seller was offering a part exchange for my grill. I think HWM may have some spares left.

Since mine was bent slightly by an idiot in a BMW at the weekend, I just browsed Aston Martin Bits. Don't seem much more expensive than the used one on eBay. But more interestingly, you can get black ones.....
I'm already considering getting my wheels black - quite like the idea of black wheels and black grill for full on stealth mode!
