Aston Martin Custom Glass Switches
Aston Martin Custom Glass Switches. When The Aston Martin DB9 was launched in 2004 it was met with almost universal acclaim, with only a few negative comments, one recurring comment was that the switchgear looked very cheap and nasty.

DB9 Carpet Finisher
DB9 Carpet Finisher, for some reason I can’t fathom some DB9s came with front carpet finishers and some don’t.

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…
