Thanks Karl. Great link with lots of info and I liked the survey where the 6 bar grill won. It's good to see your posts again. I sold my '02 Esprit a couple years ago and was a regular poster on the Lotus forum back then and always enjoyed your posts there!

If that is the case I can think of a few other ideas for them! Lots of low hanging cost saves all over my DB9........but then perhaps I wouldn't like the car so much if they did!

Anyone know the best place to buy a 6-slat grille for my 2009 AM V8V? I checked Aston Martin Bits. Is there any specific seller or dealer that offers great pricing? For example, SunCoast was the place I always went for my old Porsche's parts because they always had the best deal. Anything like that for Aston?

I know whatcha mean bud...here's my little general rule of thumb...
Suncoast for Porsche
Aston martin bits for Aston
Ricambi for Ferrari
Otherwise ...INTERWEBS for ALL and anything

I bought my 6 slat grille carbon version from astonmartincarparts.com exce to deal with. Shipping was not obscene I think about $75 by airmail if I recall.

Comparison Photos
When the previous owner of my '06 DB9 Volante bought it, it had the grill in the first photo. He thought it looked too "Ford-like" so he had the grill replaced with that in the second photo. This is the same car in both pictures.
Maybe I'm aesthetically-challenged, but I don't really care either way. I certainly wouldn't have spent the money!
