Wanted to get a pair of personalized door sill plaques for my 2009 DBS. Can you guys point me in the right direction please.

 

I was surfing AM dot com tonight and was eyeballing a set for my car. The site refers you to your local dealer.

 

tonyhall38 from pistonheadsforum can offer these for a fraction of the dealer price. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...or+sill+plates

I believe I've seen him here on 6speed as well recently. Not too sure whether under the same name.

 

Or have your local trophy shop make you a set.

 

I will located him. Thank you!

 

Have you had this done?

Yeah I saw that too

 

I have heard of other owners on the Pistonheads forum who were looking into this. Just make sure that they use good quality stainless steel for the plaque. Also, check if they offer laser engraving.

 

I recommend finding someone other than AM who can do this also. My girlfriend (now wife) got me a set from AM and I wasn't too impressed with the result. The indicia was more faint than the originals.

 

You can also use the backside of the existing plate for re-engraving.

 

the countersink holes for the bolts would be upside down tho. meaning bolt heads would protrude.

 

A set of hex, button-head chrome bolts from Ace Hardware would take car of that. Yes, they would produce a little, but they might like good enough to be acceptable.

 

Previous owner re-countersunk the holes on the back side... I'll have to look at how thick the plate really is and how much that opened up the hole. But the screws sit flush. ( I know there are two prior owners and each has their name on the plate of my car... original owner is now on the back side, 2nd owner facing up)... So if the backside is clear you should be all set plate wise.

But for me to get my name on there (3rd owner).... I am thinking I could sand/polish out a side for re engraving... I may experiment on the back side original owner and see what I get. May pull it off with a belt sander...

 

Make sure to clamp that sucker down if you don't want to deal with a flying rectangular ninja star.

 

Haha yes, probably screw it down to the work bench to start!
