Aston Martin V8 Vantage rear bumper 6G3317K835

The part number 6G33-17K835 (with common suffixes like -AA, -BL, or -DL) corresponds to the Rear Bumper Cover Assembly for the first-generation Aston Martin V8 Vantage (roughly 2005–2017).

As with your intake manifold, the “6G33” prefix identifies it as a component developed during the early 4.3L era, though the physical bumper shell remained largely consistent across the standard 4.3L and 4.7L models.

Versions & Suffixes

The letters at the end of the part number are critical for compatibility, as they denote regional specifications:

• -BL (ROW): “Rest of World” specification. This is the standard bumper for UK, European, and most international markets. It features a long, slim aperture for the license plate.

• -DL (FED): “Federal” specification for the North American (USA/Canada) market. This has a smaller, more rectangular license plate area and usually includes mounting points for side marker lights required by US law.

Key Considerations for Replacement

1. Parking Sensors (PDC): Most of these bumpers come pre-drilled for parking sensors. If your car does not have sensors, you would need to look for a rare “blank” version or fill the holes.

2. Diffuser Compatibility: The bumper is just the upper “skin.” The lower section (the diffuser) is a separate piece (e.g., 6G33-33612-AD). If you are upgrading to a V8 Vantage S carbon fiber diffuser, it will physically bolt onto this bumper, but the mounting clips for the mesh can vary.

3. Paint: These parts are almost always supplied from Aston Martin in “Prime” (unpainted). Used units are common, but because of the age of these cars, the paint (especially silver or “Meteorite Grey”) rarely matches perfectly due to UV fading—expect to factor in a respray.

Market Pricing

• New OEM: Approximately $2,200 – $2,500 / £1,800 + VAT.

• Used/Recycled: Often found between $400 – $900 depending on the condition of the mounting tabs.

Note: Check the mounting “ears” (where the bumper meets the rear quarter panel). These are the most common points of failure; if they are cracked or repaired with glue, the bumper will never sit flush with the bodywork.
