So before I bought my DBS I acquired a used DBS hood with plans of fitting to my DB9 along with the V collection side sills and carbon diffuser. (insert criticism here Obviously not going to do this now.

The hood has some light damage on the leading edge which is an easy repair but it didn't come with any hardware or the mesh screens.

Can anyone confirm that both cars use the same hinges and latches? I'm thinking about getting the hood repaired and then selling it I guess.. Just thought might be easier to sell if it was ready for paint and complete with hardware components. Are there any other issues doing this? I'm just assuming it's a straight forward bolt on fit..?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Parts book shows DB9, DBS and Rapide using the same hinges

 

The parts diagram images are identical, but the hinges have different part numbers:

DB9:
Hinge Assembly (LH) 2W93-16801-AR
Hinge Assembly (RH) 2W93-16800-AR

DBS:
Hinge Assembly (LH) 4G43-64-10917
Hinge Assembly (RH) 4G43-64-10916

EDIT: Looking up the DBS part numbers brings them up for the DB9, too.

There are also some differences in part numbers for the bolts, but I have no idea why:

DB9:
Screw, flg, M8x20 (x4) 07MY 700123
Screw, flg, M8x20 (x4) 08MY 703121
and
Screw/washer, M8x20 (x4) 07MY 701431
Screw/washer, M8x20 (x4) 08MY 703139

DBS:
Screw, flg, M8x20 (x4) 703121
and
Screw and washer, M8x20 (x4) 703139

Things that have the same part numbers:
Gas Spring Assembly (x2) 4G43-16C826-AB
Ball stud (x2) 1R12-640101-AA
Support assembly, hood bumper (x2) 4G43-16K808-AA

 

This was what I saw.

 

Years ago, 2010 or so, a Pistonheads contributor, Yeti, had a DBS hood, he called it a "bonnet", installed on his DB9.

Yeti became a 6Speeder as well, but called himself Marcus here.

He has been missing in action for a long time. His comments always had an "edge" as I remember.

 

Thanks for the information guys!

I think I may just sell it as is.. Anyone looking for a great deal on a DBS hood for their DB9?

2007 DB9. Anyone know this car?

 

So I've decided to sell the hood in its "as is" condition. Some damage on the leading edge.. Not a big problem to fix. If anyone is interested please Pm me. Thanks for posting the photos of the DB9 with the DBS hood installed.. I think it looks fantastic. Gives the car a little more attitude. Especially with the sport pack wheels.

 

I to like the look, just wish it was on straight.

Sounds like a great call speedracer...more energy to focus on DBS styling projects. Keep us posted on your interior upgrades.

 

 

I bought it from speedracer 2 years ago and after having it shipped from the US to The Netherlands h​ad it fitted only mid last year: looks the part if you ask me...
