Replacement Ski slope?
Discussion
My advice would be not to spend a penny on a new piano black one because they crack too and the reflections are a PITA.
Years ago when my car was still in warranty my piano black one cracked and warranty replacement was agreed. I wanted a carbon one so paid the difference between the two parts and the deal was done. I love it, five years later it still looks as good as the day it was fitted, no cracks and I'm not blinded when the sun shines. Expensive yes, but worth every penny to me.

Carbon fibre ski-slope - Lovely. Sadly they don't fit all Vantages - it was no possible to fit one to my car. So - if you buy one second hand - check you can return it...Years ago when my car was still in warranty my piano black one cracked and warranty replacement was agreed.

In what way did it not fit John? I thought all pre-2015 Vantages were the same (other than gearbox buttons or not) or did it change at the same time as the satnav? Would Divinatech make you one?V8V Pete said:

2 different versions exist - one needs to exchange the matching rear part of the screen & spring as well.The V12 Way said:

Why not get it wrapped ?
because we drive astons,lol£4.99 .... needs a bit of refinement to be a perfect job but the price includes enough to do it twice .. ,but as it was my first go with sticky back plastic I'm happy enough with the result and saving ....even if I can't get the picture the correct way up .

Sorry but that looks exactly like the cost suggests, cheap
Hydro dip. You’ll never know the difference. Get a good company to do it. I don’t get this carbon thing. It looks great that’s about it. So why waste £1500 etc get it hydro dipped for £200. Wicked coatings in the U.K. very professional company . I have a lovely V8V never spare a penny on it. Oil change twice a year etc. pay for carbon. No chance .
