Should fit up just fine... Same chassis, identical VH platform structure and bonded aluminum monocoque for the DB chassis vehicles.

Yes you will. They have to be reworked to fit since the front and rear fenders are different on the DBS vs DB9. But it has been done.

^^^ good point. although the chassis/structure inc front and rear subframes and bonded monocoque are identical...some of the body aluminum panels are different.

The Vantage Collection seems to be doing something with DBS sills made for DB9. Nothing on their website at the moment, but it was announced as "coming soon" a while ago. Here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50367794@N08/

Maybe give them a call?

^^^ Looks like VC is working on a nice little duck bill spoiler too

I dunno why someone would want DBS sideskirts on a DB9...the DB9 shape is subtle beauty, it's simple yet elegant and classy, it just works as a whole... the DBS as clarkson would say is the same Keira Nightly but just now in "Keira Nightley in P-diddley's jewelry" ...

If you're going to change to DBS sideskirts why not change the front and rear fascia and bonnet while you're at it, I think that the sideskirts work as a entire look for the DBS specifically on that car with the other styling cues that are on the car making more of an aggressive theme overall, but any of these peices on their own may not work they would probably need the other complimentary body parts to carry on the appeal of the look of the car overall.
