2019 Aston Martin Vantage front grille. NO WAY !

Yes but down there what can i do?

Here is what i saw in my smartphone when i connect the OBD 11 in the port. Idle Engine temperature or coolant temperature? Lambda sensor? Value 4 is? What are these indications? Makes my nervous that i paid for this reader and does not say what it measures (plus does not have that fancy applications with digital gauges).

As for the incoming air and the benefits from it: https://www.facebook.com/NASCARonNBC/videos/how-air-moves-around-differently-in-the-next-gen-car/754923579285107/ An everyday driver can not do this simulation-measurements.

Yes but only a car company's RD can do this. An every day driver does this (it's for his filter, not the radiator): bought from here. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006056151522.html 😃

This only in laboratories. An amateur like me can make some simple tests with a powerful fan and an anemometer but even this demands space (a repair garage with no other cars or a backyard not affected by the wind).

II GR a hood car means ''i have a new car and i want to protect the paint" and ''i have a car that it will be left too much time under the sun". No matter what the young thieves soon will make a check, you can understand it when you see the hood to be partially removed a bit. They also make marks as Γ Δ / etc which in the local gang slang means ''checked" ''no interested" etc. If you have parked you car (with hood) in wide road the very next night another car will park beside because the driver believes that you will not remove it soon.

Is this one?

No i will not do anything to that grill, looks nice with the chrome and after i have seen so many fake grilles-vents in other cars (modern one) i decide to leave it as is. The cold air goes low so the lower part of the bumper concerns me, i wonder if i have any gains make it "more through" for the incoming air.

@Papez i wonder if i rermove this and install a ''robust'' mesh like this or like this from ABS there would be any benefits? I mean more incoming air to the radiator that the stock? Of course i don't want to think the senario or a small crash because that spot would be weaker that the stock with those two plastic bars.

Brand, cost?

Many times i had the thought to modify that front grille, to cut those IIIIII plastics and install a mesh (Like the Milotec style) so more air will come inside. There would be a problem with the round chrome badge area but when i saw this in a Toyota modern car ''i lost my appetite". HUGE front grille with useable only the small upper part of it.

I won't remove the panel, i have done it so many times that damages on it start to occur.

I have done it many times, first by myself (no internet) and then via Haynes manual, the photo above is from my car. For repairs, install insulation, remove the alarm cable, change switches, fix the tachometer cable etc. Sequentially there are some squeaking noises and tolerance plus a broken O style screw base (that behind the TC-6 but i made a patent) so i put some windshield glue and everything are tight and quiet. It can be removed if something has to be repaired but otherwise i want to leave it as is because now i have almost not crackle noise. Behind the driver's door panel?

Thank you so much for the infos but i can't do this, i can remove the panel by my self but its too much work these days. Is there an alternative way? Can my electrician remove the driver's panel and work there with the electromagnetic mechanism?

Oh, so i must remove the instrument panel? is this one pointed by the white arrow?

I have a switch like this, 3 position, can do the job?

@nta16 here is a today's (mine) sample for the extra charges from UK to GR. Buying from ebay.co.uk that latest years it's a economic disaster.

@Papez it's the same relay that someone sells it as Wiper https://www.ebay.ca/itm/292272842913 and someone as central lock? https://www.ebay.com/itm/256251159561 Goes where the INT position is? 2 separate switches colud fit better here, 1 common ground and 2 commands lock-unlock.

Benny Hill's style was and still is acceptable from us. A Universal 4pin switch can do the job?

Where is the weird thing to have the ability to lock your doors with a push of a button instead of turning your torso and hand to push down the lock pin? I don't try this way but many times when i stretch my hand to give money to the toll-cashier or give my papers to the Traffic Policeman i engage the lock-pin. Another example here and here WHY must i release the seat belt and turn my hand to lift it up when i can do the job with a push of a button? It's mainly for safety-practicality and thousands of cars already have it, so where is the ''surprise" of what i am asking to do? 🤨

It's as this video shows? Any universal swith will do the job? How many pis must the switch have? Here are two examples from other cars, not mine: if i don't manage to put it in the (side) dashboard i will put it close to the door handle.

As i said:
