Upgrades

Upgrade your Aston Martin’s ageing headlights to brighter, energy-efficient HiD lighting for improved visibility, safety, and reliability. This popular enhancement offers a significant performance boost—contact us for more details.

Our LED illumination upgrade improves night-time visibility of dials, buttons, and switches. Energy-efficient white or coloured LEDs offer a subtle, modern touch while staying true to your classic Aston’s original aesthetic and character.

For models lacking original power steering, our custom system adds adjustable resistance to match your driving style. This upgrade improves ease and comfort while preserving the authentic character of your car.

Chicane’s braking packages deliver superior stopping power and control without altering your Aston Martin’s original look. Upgrades include enhanced calipers, discs, and servos for both classic and modern models.

Modern audio, navigation, and connectivity—like Apple CarPlay—are discreetly installed in your Aston Martin. Enjoy hands-free calling, MP3, CD, satellite navigation, and quality speakers, all without altering the car’s appearance.

Electronic fuel injection replaces carburettors, using a stand-alone ECU to control fuel delivery via injectors. This precise system improves fuel efficiency, reduces emissions, and enhances overall engine performance, responsiveness, and drivability.

Originally designed in 1959, DB4–DB6 models may fall short of modern comfort standards. Our retrofitted seals, insulation, and air conditioning reduce heat and noise, greatly enhancing the driving and ownership experience.

Our bespoke air conditioning systems for classic Aston Martins are discreetly integrated into the cabin and under the bonnet. At Chicane, we diagnose, repair, upgrade, or install new units for reliable and modern comfort.

We offer tailored suspension upgrades for all classic Aston Martins, enhancing handling, responsiveness, and overall ride comfort without compromising originality. Solutions include uprated springs, Koni dampers, telescopic conversions, and geometry refinements — suited for both six-cylinder and V8-powered grand tourer models across varied road conditions and driving styles.

Fuel theft and contamination remain risks for publicly parked Aston Martins, especially in urban or unattended areas with limited security measures. Our locking fuel caps offer a practical, elegant solution — providing added security and peace of mind against vandalism and theft. Designed to complement your Astons original look, they’re a smart, worthwhile upgrade for everyday confidence.

Every driver has unique requirements, and we tailor our solutions to match. Our modern manual gearbox retains a classic feel with the precision of a contemporary sports car, while our advanced automatic delivers smooth, responsive performance. We also offer David Brown overdrive conversions for DB4s and expert ZF gearbox rebuilds — enhancing shift quality, reducing noise, and optimising gear ratios.
