I understand he's making a video but he broke the rule of driving a convertible with the top down and windows up.
Yeah, the tachometer direction takes getting used to but, just a neat feature of Aston Martin....I would concur that driving with the windows up, when the top is down is a bit odd...I see that often...I guess my conclusion would be, if it's too cold outside to handle the wind, then the top should stay up too....Blue it is for the calipers.

That seems to be the consensus, and I thank you all for confirming my first choice....

It's not something that will happen immediately.... However, It's planned for the near future...In the meantime, besides resorting to having the red calipers stripped and repainted blue. I'm trying to source a used set of DB9 calipers that are scratched up or in need of paint as an alternative option with powder coating....
Still waiting on my new key fob from Phoenix bespoke keys in the United Kingdom.... You want to talk about financial rape, wow.... Welcome to Aston Martin.... However, they do offer other brand key replacements... Great service and great staff, however the sky is the limit on what you want to spend on making your keys and accessories like jewelry.... Sorry but, this is one area, I'm perfectly satisfied with having OEM replacement with no bells or whistles, even if it is a Volvo product...My original (ONE) at the moment is still good after 19 years, so kudos to Volvo for supplying Aston Martin with a reliable product....

Pay to play, absolutely....Learned my lesson....If/when I decide to buy another European exotic, a full compliment of keys/working fobs is mandatory before purchasing.... Folks, I know along the way, I've mentioned having the full compliment of accessories that come with the car when it's new but, don't purchase a used one, unless it has all of it.... Either that, or you get the seller to buy it, or discount the overall price of the car.... Going to a dealership parts store for a replacement anything, is an eye watering experience, moreso for exotics...
Just part of your homework, when you have decided on a particular car...
