Vantage side skirts / rocker panel parts
I was going to order n400 side skirts for my 09 Vantage. What other parts would I need other than the rocker panels for the install?

I was thinking of doing the same with mine.
Mine is a 2008 V8V and the N400 skirts (or V12 skirts) update the look a bit.
However... I've seen an early Vantage at my dealer WITH new sideskirts (i believe the V12's) and, I don't know... it doesn't look right.
I did a google search: http://i43.tinypic.com/33k575w.jpg
Maybe it's my imagination, but it just doesn't look right. Maybe to pull of the look, it needs lowering a bit (a few centimeters)?
Of course, this could all be in my head

Those are V12 sideskirts... I does change the look of the car but it is more in line with the newer V8S and V12 and that is what I am after. I will also add a rear diffuser and a front lip to complete the look.

Yeah, I think to complete the look, you need the rear diffuser and the front lip. Maybe even the clear rear lights.
The look I like the most is the Vantage S. A friend from my parents has a V8 Vantage S, and that looks just stunning.
I thought the N400 and S sideskirts are more or less the same?
EDIT: you know why it doesn't look right? That stupid antenna on the early models. it ruins the whole look of the car. That small detail ruined the look of the first modelyears. Thank god mine doesn't have it. Updating the car with sideskirts, and don't bother changing the CB-radio antenna with a small one, that is what's not looking right.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
Even some Vanquish models have that stupid antenna.

You don't need any other parts. You MAY need screws with larger heads as the bottom holes may be larger than your stock skirt's holes. You MAY also need door seals as they are stuck to the skirts edges around the door. I removed them carefully and re-used them on my new skirts with new thin double-side tape. The hardest part is removing the old tape from the seals without damaging them.
