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

The Aston Martin DBS holds a singular position in the brand's lineup — it is the car that bridges the gap between grand tourer and supercar, delivering greater performance, visual drama, and mechanical intensity than the DB range while retaining the refinement and long-distance capability that defines the Aston Martin character. Across two distinct production generations spanning nearly two decades, the DBS name has become synonymous with the most aggressive and purposeful expression of Aston Martin's GT formula. For owners of both generations — and for DB11 owners seeking the DBS aesthetic — the conversion and upgrade opportunity is substantial, and BodyKit.co.za is South Africa's dedicated source for OEM-grade DBS body conversion components.

Generation 1 — DBS V12 (2007–2012)

The first-generation DBS was developed directly from the DB9 platform but distinguished through a dramatically more purposeful visual package — wider front intakes, carbon fibre front splitter, pronounced rear diffuser, vented rear quarter panels, and a lower, more planted stance. Used by James Bond in Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008), the Gen 1 DBS became one of the most recognisable performance cars of its era.

The strong visual relationship between the DBS and DB9 — sharing the same VH aluminium platform and overall body proportions — makes the DBS one of the most referenced donor models for DB9 conversion kits globally. Our Gen 1 DBS range serves both DBS owners seeking to personalise or enhance their existing car, and DB9 owners converting upward to DBS specification.

Gen 1 DBS Aero & Upgrade Components:

• DMC Fakhoury-style forged carbon fibre front bumper lip
• DMC forged carbon fibre GT rear wing spoiler
• Carbon fibre front splitter and undertray
• Carbon fibre rear diffuser and lower rear bumper extensions
• Vented rear quarter panel and side duct upgrades
• Carbon fibre mirror caps
• Interior carbon trim package (centre console, dashboard, door panels, door sills, navigation cover)

Generation 2 — DBS Superleggera & DBS 770 Ultimate (2018–2023)

The second-generation DBS Superleggera, unveiled in 2018, was a wholesale reinvention of the DBS formula. Built on the DB11 platform but with a more extreme 715 bhp twin-turbo V12, a carbon fibre bonnet, carbon ceramic brake option, and a dramatically more aggressive exterior design, the Superleggera represented the most powerful front-engine road car Aston Martin had produced at the time of its launch. Its final iteration — the DBS 770 Ultimate — closed the Superleggera chapter in 2023 with 770 bhp, the most powerful naturally aspirated production Aston Martin engine ever, and a full carbon fibre aero package that became the benchmark for the model's visual potential.

For DBS Superleggera owners, the DBS 770 Ultimate specification represents a clear and compelling upgrade target — and the 770 Ultimate's carbon front lip, fender vents, and rear diffuser are precisely the kind of OEM-grade aero components our range focuses on.

Additionally, the DB11 to DBS Superleggera front bumper conversion has emerged as one of the most in-demand projects in the Aston Martin tuning world — with DB11 owners seeking to replace the DB11's narrower, more reserved front grille with the DBS Superleggera's wide, OHMSS-inspired vaned grille and carbon-framed lower intake. This conversion requires modification of the upper bumper flanges and air duct adaptation, but the result is a dramatically more aggressive and distinctive front end.

Gen 2 DBS Superleggera & 770 Upgrade Components:

• DBS 770 Ultimate-spec carbon fibre front lip splitter
• DBS 770 carbon fibre side fender vents and intakes
• DBS 770 carbon fibre rear diffuser assembly
• DBS Superleggera carbon fibre bonnet / hood conversion
• Carbon fibre front bumper canards and dive planes
• Wide arch fender extensions
• Carbon fibre side skirt and sill extensions
• Carbon fibre mirror caps and door handle surrounds
• DB11 to DBS Superleggera front bumper conversion kit
• DBS 770 exhaust tip upgrades
• Interior carbon fibre trim packages and dashboard upgrades

All conversion components are available in dry carbon fibre, forged carbon fibre, FRP fibreglass, or ABS polypropylene, with nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. Professional installation by an experienced bodyshop with European GT experience is strongly recommended for all bumper and structural conversions.
