Hi guys.

I have searched the hell out of the internet and I'm not having too much luck.

I am waning a small lip spoiler and a beefier (like a DBS) diffuser.

I can't find anything on a diffuser

And with spoilers I can only fine an expensive Carbon one from the states and the KAHN one.

Does anyone know of a place that sells things like this?

It can be done using original DBS parts, BUT it will be very expensive. I'd stay away from tacky brands like Mansory and use just genuine to avoid making the car looking like bot racer trash! Sounds to me like you're trying to do it on a budget, it won't work. The parts are not an exact fit and a lot of work is needed to make them fit plus painting. If I could back in time I probably wouldn't have spent the money to do this

Planning something similar, did you have to shorten the rear diffuser or only the bumper?

Oh I'm not looking at a budget option.

So does the DBS Boot go straight onto an earlier DB9? And the diffuser?

Car looks stunning BTW smile

Sadly not a single panel fits on directly and they all need modifying/cutting. I had all the work done by Trinity who did an excellent job to be fair and finished off with a full re-spray. The defuser was the only part that didn't need modifying BUT it did go onto a DBS bumper which did need modifying!

Good point bonnet is a direct swap! Also boot lid should be if it is a coupe, if a Volante then it won't.

OP - have you tried Astonmartinbits.com for the parts? They normally have a very good range/selection at sensible prices

Thanks for that. Had a look, haven't got a clue how to buy or see prices

I have looked at aston martin bits but they aren't too far off RRP if new

These products are high quality, not cheap Chinese made junk. Sacrilege to use Chinese crap.

Still works out cheaper to buy original DBS parts in near perfect condition from Astonmartinbits.com

I think it will be a less "chavvy" car with the parts being genuine also

Ok thanks for the reply.

Was your DBS rear bumper a direct fit?

Nope, but only a small amount of cutting to make it fit I'm told. Might be worth giving Tim at Trinity a call and asking him to price the labour and what is involved, mention Marks DB9 to DBS he will know everything involved and be able to give you a price for each area you want to do

I just ran into this topic as I am looking to upgrade my DB9 Volante rear diffuser to DBS and reading the thread it seems that its not a straight swap but it requires an additional adjustment. Can anybody advise what is the level of an adjustment apart from spraying the diffuser.
Any info is very much appreciated.

Wow old thread! I didnt do the work myself, Trinity did it for me but I understand that parts of the DBS difusser had to be cut away to fit. Sides and bottom I think
