V12 Vantage (VH2) Cosmetic Mods

[Linkin]

Hi All,

I've recently purchased a V12 Vantage S Roadster, and i'm having a few things tweaked before i pick it up.

There are a few things i'd like to do, which i'm sure i could do myself, such as:

Carbon Side Strakes
Carbon Mirror Caps
Carbon Infills for rear light clusters
De-Chrome Window surrounds

Is it just a case of picking these up from AM at extortionate cost, or are there any (very good) after-market suppliers for such things?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Linkin

Don’t think so ,look at ‘scorpione’ they seem only people who do it and it’s US based .

If you are happy to go aftermarket rather than AM OEM one of the more common places to look is ECPS in Poland.

Most of the items you have listed are available and Michal is an easy person to deal with. He is a member of most of the AM Facebook groups too. Only one caveat nowadays though. If you’re ordering parts from outside of the EU (eg in the UK) you should expect to pay additional customs charges (assuming nothing has changed since early 2021). Many on here have used his company, including me, and the quality of his products is very high and the overall experience is very good too. BRM.

Thanks Minglar, that's an interesting site with a lot of tempting things!
I didn't know you could get carbon facias for the pre-2016 waterfall dash.

Do you know what they mean by 'Dry' Carbon?
Is that just un-lacquered?

Cheers

I have the carbon light infills left over from ecps if you’re interested. £120 and happy for you to collect in Warwick if you’re nearby. I also have a carbon binnacle cover if that would be of any interest.

The easier and cheaper way to do the window surrounds is have them wrapped ,Matt or gloss black.

Dry carbon fiber is what the factory uses. Wet carbon fiber would be laid similar to fiberglass.
