Aston Martin DB9 Modified Exhaust
Aston Martin DB9 Modified Exhaust, I was going to modify the silencer on the DB9 to produce a better louder sound when the valves are open but not changing the sound in quiet mode, however I came across a better option, using a Vanquish S exhaust backbox instead. My exhaust is decatted (secondary cats removed)…
Aston Martin Alloy Seat Controls
Aston Martin Alloy Seat Controls, Most DB9s came with black plastic seat controls, either with or without memory and they look fairly cheap and low quality in such a high quality car, later cars came with Alloy controls which looked much better but the wiring is completely different. My car (2006 DB9 Volante) came with…
Aston Martin Magnetic Charging Port
Aston Martin Magnetic Charging Port, most Aston Martins are not used as daily drivers and modern cars have manu systems running even when the ignition is off so its a good idea to leave rarely used cars on a trickle charger. The DB9 and Vantages have charging points as standard from the factory, however they…
Upgraded DB9 Dashboard
Upgraded DB9 Dashboard. The DB9 launched with an Alloy Instrument display which looked really good at the time, but personally I feel it has dated so I changed to the black dash from the DBS.

DB9S modified Bootlid
DB9S modified Bootlid. One of the first modifications I did was to make the bootlid more like a DBS. with an integrated spoiler. I bought the car with an aftermarket stick on spolier which to my eyes did not look good so I got it blended in and repainted to look more like a DBS….
Upgraded Aston Martin V12 Exhaust

DB9 Modified Steering Wheel
DB9 Modified Steering Wheel. I found the stock Aston Martin steering wheel to be uncomfortable (mine was stock except for the Alcantara covering) so I went for a custom wheel, this was modified from a stock wheel to be more to my taste, its’s more similar in shape to the One-77 wheel (the ultimate VH…
