Yeah after reading through several threads I've no doubt it's an easy swap, just looking for a more cost effective way to update mine. ~$400 for 2 pcs of aluminum is out of the question.

Tony Hall made mine.. I think around $175 or so if I recall. They look OE.

Same here. I highly recommend Tony Hall. He has a few threads here and on piston heads.

timwhayden is on a distinguished road
I also had Tony make me a personalized set with my name on it that look just like the original and was a whole lot cheaper than ordering from AM. Replaced them in 3 minutes so easy to do.

Exchange rates for gbp are excellent today since the news came out about the UK leaving the EU.

I attached an example of one of Tony's plaques.

That thing looks lazer printed with screws that need attention

Here is my first attempt, Im a hobbyist and do it for fun, Im not a dealer or agent...BUT I do have a 5 Xci CNC machine in my man cave, ...and the address of every MILF that puts out on first dates

forget the Bond thing I can put anything on there ?

Ok had the Aston out today and tried to take a pic of the sill plate in the car, the problem is that everything seem to shine back at the iphone camera and getting a quality pic is not my best hallmark

Here it is in the red sills ( I have not donen the roll bar and seat belts yet) i appreciate its bold, but the red really works with my red calipers and engine brace suspension brackets that are visible through the hood
Sorry it took so long

Talk is cheap brother...where i come from action is where its at..and please use counter sunk stainless screws like OEM, sorry to be so critical, but since you asked i thought i would inform you.
Dome screws in a application for flat reflect your attention to deatil, and it will be a while before i let you into my man cave...basics Tony basics.

your comment on,... cant teach an old dog new tricks??? Tony I have recently trained 3 men over 65 how to fly? you sell yourself short.. I did of course reach deep into my patience basket
