Hi, All. I've posted about this before, but I still haven't had any success.
I need to re-cover the passenger-side airbag cover in my LHD '06 DB9 Volante. The leather is Phantom Grey, but I can't find it anywhere. The panel is the large panel to the right of the nav screen door and center vents in the waterfall in the image below.
Most recently I ordered a full hide from Aston Martin Bits, but they just emailed me to let me know that they just received a message from Bridge of Weir that they are "no longer supplying the Phantom Grey leather." Aston Martin themselves also replied that they are unable to help.
Can anyone help out or make a suggestion?
Thanks.

 

If you can’t find a match, you could consider a little two tone. Get the 5? mid panels recovered in an Aston black, or for that matter any other black of similar quality. The lower split line was an option from Aston when ordering from new. They also had an upper split line option (the panels nearest the windshield). I personally liked the lower split line option.

 

The supplier of the leather to Aston Martin is Bridge of Weir. As I understand it, they will mail whole hides at a 'reasonable' rate. I have not done this personally, but several other forum members have and had success in contacting Bridge of Weir for color matched to the OEM options.

Find an auto upholsterer from the body shop your dealer recommends. They have access to many shades of gray that might match phantom. You could also try a salvage yard for the cover.

 

Yet reaching out to Rich at Redpants. I purchased some PG colored leather from him.

Perhaps a group v purchase on a hide from BOW might be in order...?

 

Did you guys not read the OP’s post? BoW has already told him they cannot supply any PH hides.

 

Thanks, all, for your help and suggestions. The split suggestion is pretty clever and is likely to be my fallback solution if I can't source any actual Phantom Grey.

 

Your wood trim looks excellent. Did you have it refinished?

 

Cost effective way for 1 panel to match would be have it covered in Obsidian black and have it spray dyed to match existing panels.

 

Yep. Madera Concepts back in 2016. Still looking good!

 

OP Did you ever have any luck here? I just had a few pieces recovered to match my Phantom grey locally

 

No luck, I'm afraid! Do you know what your local shop used?

 

OK I just saw it today and it looks REALLY close, I'm not sure of the brand because all the hide had on it was a number "2763" but I'm picking up the pieces I had refinished tomorrow. I'll snap some pics side by side against the original so you can review.

If not sounds like I'll be buying a LOT of this phantom grey from Bridge & Weir along with you maybe? lol

 

OK UPDATE @zuman : Just picked the pieces up from the shop, the color is not perfect but it is indeed really close, For reference I just bought this top piece last week from AM Bits, the one on the bottom is the original piece which I just had re-upholstered locally.

I think I'm going to actually try to use the original piece I think and see how it looks when I install it.

If I hate it I may go back to trying to buy some hides from B&W

 

Here are the pics with the new pieces installed and annotated in case you want to see what they look like side by side
