AMR Knobs

[jeremyp]

I have tried searching and can t find anything so I thought I would ask
Does anyone have knowledge about the AMR knobs on the haptic dash: Possible to retrofit? Possible to purchase as an upgrade?

Photos of standard and AMR versions:

Are you asking about the black rotary knobs? I have those on my 2016 Vanquish Volante Carbon Edition.

The build sheet says: Rotary Switches, Rotary Switch - Dark - Black (RS06)

Yes vyr, apologies for not being clear, they have gloss black fronts and knurled sides?

The AMR rotaries were Carbon Fibre

Can still be bought as a kit from any AM dealer.

I saw those.
Slightly pricey.

The black gloss ones in the photo are from a listing for an AMR

What about painting them?

Yes, gloss black and knurled.

Nice!

Wonder how much they are from AM (or even if you can buy them separately)

I don’t think they are AMR specific, per se. You could just get them in different styles. Unusually, I have a wooden waterfall dash finish with silver rotary controls in my AMR.

Ah, ok so you mean the ones which were std fit to the AMR model, rather than the AMR rotaries (which I listed above).

As Nick has said they were likely fitted to many special editions over the years, but everything could be changed by Q on request.

You will be able to buy them also from AM if you enquire. HWM Parts dept are always super helpful if you give them a call.

They will likely be a bit less expensive than the CF ones above, but still pricey Id say.

Honestly, Id not bother. My V12VS has the all silver rotaries and my mrs's AMR Rapide has the black gloss ones you have listed in the picture. Id say you really have to pay attention to even notice they are different and its certainly not one of the cosmetic things I notice / appreciate when sitting in the AMR Rapide.

How much???

My GT8 also has the knurled ones which were standard with coloured anodised a Q option at (iirc ) £ 3k.

I’d imagine that’s some quite good knob markup

Indeed - some of Q's options are relatively acceptable value but this certainly stood out as a box not to tick.
They also weren't prepared to negotiate unlike on the paint.

Mine were done through Q - nowhere near £3k but a challenge to get them painted - they wanted to anodise them !

I've just realised that the standard ones are knurled on the side so the main difference is the gloss black fronts which should be sprayable as EVR said
