V8 Vantage Sill Plate/Plaque

[V8_Fastback]

Hi all,

So looks like I’ll be the owner of an early manual 4.3 V8V in the coming days.

Only thing I need to change out is the sill plate.
It was a bespoke build for a friend - and has ‘handbuilt for ******’ (his name) written.

He ideally would like the plates as a memento.

Any ideas where I will get a stock/factory looking plate to replace it?

Thanks - and sure I’ll be on this forum with plenty more questions!

You'll get them on Aston Bits but they are a bit pricey

Perfect thanks.
They are, as most things seem to be for them!

Tony did mine and they are great. You can see the original and personalized versions in this pic.

Ditto Tony can make exactly what you want, logo, name colour etc

Thanks everyone I’ll drop Tony a message

Hi all,

Bit of a thread resurrection, but looking for someone who can create some replacement tread plate plaques for a 2019 Vantage.

Anyone know of someone doing this these days? Is Tony still around?

Thanks!

Had these cut ages ago, keep meaning to get them etched.

I'm presuming that's 'new shape' I'm not sure what file type I need to load into the company 'Laser etcher' hence why mine haven't been etched yet...

He very rarely posts in here nowadays, as is the case with many posters from those days, but he is in many of the Aston Martin Facebook groups. If a phone call or email fails to elicit a response then I would suggest an IM via Facebook may be worth a try. BRM.

Hi, reviving this thread yet again - if anyone has replaced their sill plaques with custom ones and have their original un-named ones to hand I would love to purchase a pair

[Seakingsam]

I have available these original sill plates. Free to a good home.

Mind you, they will be couriered from Auckland, New Zealand, so an offer of shipping costs would be welcome.

A DM will set process in motion

That's very kind and I would have happily covered postage but unfortunately mine is a 4.3. Thank you for the offer and hopefully someone else can make use!

As I've just put my hand up for the 4.7 ones from Seakingsam I'll have a spare original pair from my 2015 Vantage available, which do not give the engine capacity.

Happy to post a picture if you're interested in what they look like - let me know. They'll be available once their slightly snazzier 4.7 replacements have arrived and been fitted

Hi, I am definitely interested! Despite having been on PH for almost two decades I have no idea how to use the PM function but would love to get in touch and share my details - let me know what works for you.

Edit - Figured it out, message sent!

Just a bit more "in your face" to go with the new exhaust sounds
