Bought my dream DB9
I'm finally a happy and proud owner of a 2010 DB9. Tungsten Silver with Obsidian Black interior. It's the culmination of years of dreaming, learning/reading, and endless searching to find the right DB9.
It's exhilarating to drive, a pleasure to look at, and fun to clean/detail.
Thank you to everyone on this forum for all of the information and help you've provided. A special thank you to everyone who replied to my posts or sent me PMs. I learned more from this forum and it's members than any other source.

Congrats! Beautiful car...I love the way the red calipers 'pop' with the tungsten paint. Enjoy your new ride!

Very nice. I was also interested in that car. Medhi sent me a walk around video. He did the same a few years ago when I bought a Bentley from them. In the end I bought a V8 Vantage with a manual. I hope you enjoy your new toy. It is beautiful.

Great car---- where in NC. If in CLT or close GMP performance did work on my DB9 and are stellar to work with. I had them put the VAP lowering springs on the car and fix my lug nut issue.
1. Advice---- VAP lowering springs, I haven't run into any issues with clearance, and will make the car look so much better and ride is actually better.
2. Spacers to get those Vantage S wheels flush---- 10mm in front for mine, but it could go further likely to the recommended 15mm. For the rear, a 10-15mm likely would be perfect. Normally its 20mm for the rear but since you wheels are 10in wide with a 59+ offset it would stick to 15mm max
Those are the cheapest upgrades which only make the car look even better and do not affect the ride or anything mechanical.
Sound----- Either go with he Decat pipes from VAP, Larini etc.... or go with 200 cell pipes. I went Decat, and the sound is definitely much better, controllable by your right foot, and freed up a few HP. You can even install them yourself if you like.
Just some easy things to do, to make it so much better without lets say Modifying it. Your just tweaking OEM to make it better.
Anyway, congrats on the car!!!!!!
