Can anyone tell me if my Vantage is missing a front lip? Never noticed until I was underneath and pulled the skid plate off but it looks like maybe there's supposed to be a bottom lip that maybe was damaged and taken off after a run-in with a parking bumper.

 

yeah, its missing

 

Damn, yeah I figured as much. Is the OEM piece color matched? If it's just black I may go ahead and get one from Carbon Fiber Racing... it's $430 and I can't imagine the cost on an OEM is much different.

 

i replaced mine about a year ago (black brittle plastic and OEM). it cost about 200-400 bucks for the part. and if you DIY you'll find there isn't room to squeeze a shorty phillips-head (the kind you'll need) in there to screw it on unless you somehow lift the front of the car. it's pretty straightforward though. but at some point during the installation you'll have to decide what part of the wheel well and undertray goes under or over the tabs on the lip that the screws pass through.

...i suspect they sell of A LOT of them, especially for the early models that didn't have the front radar curb detectors like yours has...

 

Did the earlier cars have any lip at all? I'm googling pictures online and it's hard to see any lower lip on the earlier cars.

I assume the one installed on my car is aftermarket as it sticks forward noticeably. (I doubt it will be with me long, lol.)

I could get a part time gig clearing snow though.......

 

I think I found what I need. Can anyone confirm that this is the right piece? https://www.astonmartinbits.com/mode...age/parts/1264


BTW here's some better images for reference

 

that looks like what i bought. scuderiacarparts.com called it the "front lower spoiler" part #6G33-17626-AG . it's black brittle plastic.

it may be what you are looking for. see it here--> https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/par...r-spoiler.html

 

Looks like that's it! Can't find a better source either. Going to see what my dealer comes up with but he said it should be about the same from them.

 

Have something to brace yourself when you hear what a US dealer charges for that piece of crappy plastic.
