So I dont see how to assy :
1 - the licence plate holder with lighting onto the bumper
2 - the exhaust finisher with the bracket and the chassis
The hole at the top of the bracket for the bolt is not aligned with the hole on the chassis.
The space on the bracket is not enough large for the finisher.
Someone could help me ?
Maybe a photo ?
Thanks.
Regards
Bruno

Thanks Sanengo, the bracket is the same.
Finaly I've found how to do for the bracket/finisher : just move the bumper to perfectly put it in place...
But for the licence plate holder with lighting onto the bumper what to do ?
Does it just fixed by the adhesive tape ?

In my parts list (from 2009) the license plate lights are mounted in something called 'Housing assy, licence plate, finisher' no AD43-N43400-AA.
AFAIK there is no holder for the license plate itself. Each country has its own.

Yes, this is the part #AD43-N43400-AA (item #1).
I dont see how to assy item 1 with the bumper / diffuser / chassis.
Where insert the clips on the chassis (item #3) ?
Does it fixed only with the adhesive tape ?

Are my eyes not seeing right, or are thise just base model Vantage GT bumpers..they don't have Carbon, they're flat black.
You could of just ordered the bumper upgrade kit from Aston Martin. It comes with everything to convert a regular Vantage pre 2012 to the newer 2013 bumper look with the option of with Caron or flat black trim.
The clips, always thought they just went into the bracket on the body..should be the same bracket on your car, just it's now the holder clipping in versus the bumper clipping in. The lamp holder is held to the bumper via 2-way tape on flat side, and where holes are there's bolts into spring nut clips..see pic for 2-way tape
