Homemade Custom Glass switches

[Phuketpaul]

Like the majority of owners I feel that the early round switches look pretty cheap and nowhere near as nice as the later glas switches.

But as I have a 2006 DB9 Volante Auto with a few options Aston don't make glass switch replacements for all the switches.

The switches that are not available are:

Air Conditioning
Air Recirculation
Hazard lights
Heated Rear Screen
Heated Front Screen
Petrol Flap
Reduced Guard Alarm

So I set about modifying switches to make my own, very happy with the outcome.









Information on how I made them is below

Looking good from here!

Having the shape of the car for the air circulation switch is very cool.

Great job, where did you have the custom decals made, or maybe you can supply as I have already a batch of glass switches waiting to be modified.

Could you please let me know where you got the custom stickers made, I need some for boot release and exhaust switch. Thanks

Thanks - this is on my list of things to do for the car...

But, I'm going to modify the ones near the stick shift to have a symbol for guns, and the other for the passenger ejection seat... Seems only appropriate!

you say you have the glass switches already?

Traction Control, Sport and PDC are available already as glass switches, traction Control is different from the other switches as it doesn't have the inset indicator in the glass and uses 2 tell tale LEDs to light up the whole switch instead. (I used the same system for Hazards)

I haven't done Petrol Flap or Reduced guard yet and I am going to redo a couple of the decals.

I will PM you
