Aston Martin Vanquish Body Kit, OEM Facelift Conversion & Carbon Fibre Upgrades

The Aston Martin Vanquish occupies a unique position in British automotive history — it is Aston Martin's flagship model, the car that sits above everything else in the range and serves as the ultimate expression of the brand's engineering and design philosophy. Since its debut in 2001 as James Bond's car of choice in Die Another Day, the Vanquish has undergone two full generational reinventions and is now entering a dramatic third era with the all-new 2025 Vanquish. Each generation has a distinctive visual identity, and each has spawned a compelling set of upgrade and conversion opportunities that BodyKit.co.za is proud to serve in the South African market.

Generation 1 — V12 Vanquish & Vanquish S (2001–2007)

The original Vanquish was Aston Martin's most technologically ambitious car at the time of its launch — featuring a bonded aluminium and composite body structure, a hand-built 5.9-litre V12, and styling by Ian Callum that balanced aggression with elegance. The mid-cycle Vanquish S of 2004 introduced a power upgrade, revised gearbox calibration, and subtle exterior refinements including a reshaped front bumper, revised rear valance, and more pronounced front intakes.

Owners of the original 2001–2004 Vanquish now have a clear and well-documented upgrade path: converting to Vanquish S exterior specification. Key conversion components include:

• Vanquish S-spec front bumper with deeper lower intakes
• Revised front grille and surround conversion
• Vanquish S rear bumper and valance upgrade
• Carbon fibre front splitter additions
• Carbon fibre rear diffuser
• Sill extension and side skirt refinements
• Interior dashboard and trim panel upgrades to later specification

Generation 2 — Vanquish & Vanquish S (2012–2018)

The second-generation Vanquish, unveiled in 2012, was a landmark model for Aston Martin — the first production car from the brand to feature an all-carbon fibre body structure, dramatically reducing weight and increasing torsional rigidity. Styled with clear DNA from the limited-production One-77, the Gen 2 Vanquish introduced exposed carbon fibre side sills as a factory feature, along with sharper intakes, a more muscular bonnet, and a wider, lower stance than its predecessor.

The Vanquish S, introduced in 2017 as the final iteration of this generation, pushed the visual and performance envelope further — featuring a revised front splitter, rear diffuser, and a unique bootlid spoiler lip that distinguishes it immediately from the standard model. For owners of the 2012–2016 standard Vanquish, converting to Vanquish S specification is one of the most visually rewarding and value-enhancing upgrades available.

Our Gen 2 Vanquish conversion range includes:

Exterior Conversion Components:

• Vanquish S-style front bumper lip and splitter conversion
• Carbon fibre front bumper spoiler / lower lip extension
• Carbon fibre rear bumper extension and diffuser
• Vanquish S bootlid spoiler lip addition
• Carbon fibre side skirt extensions (SX Rear Bumper Extension style)
• Exposed carbon fibre sill upgrades and replacements
• Bonnet / hood vented upgrade panels
• Carbon fibre mirror cap replacements
• OEM-spec clear rear light conversions
• Exhaust tip and rear grille upgrades

Interior & Cabin Conversion Components:

• Dashboard facia and trim upgrades to Vanquish S specification
• Carbon fibre interior trim package (centre console, dash surrounds, door panels, door sills, satellite navigation cover)
• Steering wheel trim and surround conversions
• Sport seat trim upgrades

Generation 3 — Vanquish (2025–present)

The all-new 2026 Vanquish marks Aston Martin's most dramatic flagship reinvention in over a decade — powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 producing in excess of 800 bhp, clothed in a design that draws from both the One-77 and the Valkyrie hypercar programme. As this generation matures and the Vanquish Volante joins the lineup alongside a planned high-performance variant, the conversion and personalisation market for the new Vanquish is only beginning to develop. BodyKit.co.za will be the first to bring OEM-grade aero and conversion components for the new Vanquish to the South African market as the aftermarket ecosystem develops throughout 2026 and beyond.

All Vanquish conversion components in our current range are manufactured from dry carbon fibre, forged carbon fibre, FRP fibreglass, or ABS polypropylene — engineered for precise fitment to Vanquish body structures. Professional installation by an experienced bodyshop is required. Nationwide delivery available across South Africa to Gauteng, Cape Town, Durban, and all major centres.

The Vanquish is Aston Martin's finest — it deserves an equally exceptional in-car experience.
