Just facelifted my 05 DB9 to a DBS

Just wanted other owners to know it is possible. I had DBS front fenders, bumper, grille & side skirts.

Still got to do the hood/bonnet, rear trunk, rear bumper and door mirrors. Was a great opportunity to upgrade when my girlfriend idled my car into the back of a jeep in a parking lot.

Are the rear fenders the same on DB9 and DBS or are the DBS fenders wider?

Rear quarter panels/fenders are indeed wider on a DBS.

Contemplating whether to do a stock DBS rear conversion with the mods to make it fit my car (pics courtesy of Michał Pastryk of ECPS)
...




...or order a euro spec DB9 rear bumper and put on a VCollection diffuser and call it a day.

Thanks man. I figured it would be a value add considering the price differences between DB9 & DBS. It's all stock Aston Martin parts so I am not sure how it would be a ding on the resale value.

I may not live long enough to see any substantial appreciation so I guess best advice is "do what turns you on......"
