Seriously, that diamond polisher does crazy things to the headlamps... :shock:

He's an actual fruit cake.

Wouldn't put that much effort into a VXR/OPC - its a nice car - worth washing every week and all that - just wouldn't be inclined to go to that length on cleaning it.

Still if I had my Zed in for detailing and paid good money for it then this is the level of detail I'd like them to go to.

It's still an Astra at the end of the day no matter how much turd polish is applied.

Fair play to him I say - I'm having something similar done to the TT. It's current condition just doesn't do the car justice - dead paintwork and light scratches on the bonnet - depressing to say the least. I can't wait to be honest....

I think it was done moreso to promote his friend's brand of polishes...

So after all that it just looks like he has a very very very very very clean astra..

Yeah that's definitely the difference soc, Astra. I'm sure the TT will come out looking great!

Jeez - I don't know what was more anal - writing the original article or the follow-up parka piss-take. They don't pull their punches on Barryboys.

The FTO isn't safe either - http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15138

To be fair, both of those examples deserved a good roasting...

by **Dave** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 12:36 pm

the exhausts on that second one are a joke though in fairness, who in the right mind would actually think they look cool?

Jacket this is funny

Myfeckin we'd take the piss out of that FTO, and probably worse, if we'd spotted it!

No doubt! - I'm not defending those FTO's in any way - just pointing out that even the FTO (or Zed for that matter) is not immune to being transformed into a chav chariot.

there has been a zed on the barryboys site... can't find the link at the moment

by **Wildhound** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 2:41 pm

Avert your eyes! The following thread has the potential to put you off owning a Zed for life:
