i recently banged up my rear end of my 2005 DB9, i found an ad for a Virage bootlid & rear bumper in the exact color i need for a resonable price. Does anyone know if the parts are a direct fit or is the rear end similar to the DBS?

I'm pretty sure the Virage has more in common with the later, refreshed DB9. Looking at photos of the Virage vs the early DB9, the rear quarter flares out a tiny bit under the taillight above the bumper seam where yours and mine do not. This leads me to believe the Virage bumper will be too wide for your 2005. Good luck finding the right part!

 

You can check a number of threads I started some years ago: I upgraded my 2004 DB9 with Virage sills and recently virage front bumper. I can tell for sure there is no 100% straight fitment. A lot of rework is required due to the later virage / 2013 DB9 has more flaring etc.

Still, a decent bodyshop can do the magic and give the car an updated appearance. I did mine and i'm still loving the refreshed look of it.

 

To add concerning above, here the thread re the Virage/ 2013 DB9 sills clearly showing the later DB9's / Virage wider fender lines https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...irect-fit.html

Below a picture of my DB9's recent nose-job showing the modifications that need doing.

 

And pictures of the final result

 

This looks great!! was the DBS hood a direct fit?

 

Yes, a one on one fit indeed.
