I know this has been asked before, but the search engine is down at the moment. What should I expect to pay to have N400 sills painted and fitted to my MY2008 V8VR? And any recommendations for someone in the South-East to fit them. Many thanks.

You can buy them off ebay for £650. Then, depending on who you use, I would expect to pay £400-£600 to fit them for you! Just remember when you do it you need to replace the door seals at the same time (around £30 each).

Ask the Main Dealers.
It should be around the £1200 - £1300 mark supplied, fitted and painted.

I assume they come primed, so the £400-£600 includes painting?

Otherwise that sounds terribly expensive; are they not a fairly simple DIY fit?

Sorry I should have said that includes painting, yes. Don't think they come primed, even if they did the garage you take them too would want to re-prime them anyway so they know what they are working with.

And it's not expensive at all. Aston will do them for around £1200 for you all in so that's top end of what I quoted.

Where on eBay? I searched using " n400" and " sills" but nothing came up. Also, are they the same on a Vantage S as the N400 ?
Thanks

The Vantage S has the V12V style sills.
The MY12 Vantage will have the N400 style sills.
