Debadging the Disrespected Astra VXR

In this video, I debadge the back of the VXR, polish the exhaust, remove some tacky carbon effect wrap, change my wipers, and get attacked by crows.
Next episode should be a before and after comparison of the Wavetrac LSD :)

Nice one. I was going to remove the carbon wrap on my b pillar too but they actually came standard like that. Will try your trick with the rear badge.

[@JamesBalazs]

Oh good to know, I've only ever noticed one other car with the carbon effect wrap so never knew it was a standard thing!

Loving these videos man...

Lovely Vxr 🏆👌🔥

[@harley8599]

What exact polish did you use to get rid of the residue of the back boot badge? I don’t want to remove the badge and find it’s got a massive paint difference, so I need to know what to get to get it looking normal

[@JamesBalazs]

Mine still has a difference unfortunately, doesn't show up on camera but even after months of washing it, polishing etc I haven't been able to get it perfect - there's still an outline of the badge but you can't see it from more than a couple of feet away.

Hi mate, does the fin antenna work okay? Also do you have a link? All the best

[@JamesBalazs]

I don't use the radio much, but it seemed fine the few times I've had it on. The antenna was done before I got the car so I don't have a link, sorry!

Whats the exhaust system? It sounds amazing

[@JamesBalazs]

It's a Cobra 3" non res system, but with the precat still in place. Sounds amazing for a non res, only a tiny backbox though so it's deafening 😅

[@nubie1100]

Do you know the name of the alloys everyone get for these.. I've seen them on lots of modded cars too.

[@JamesBalazs]

I think the ones you see on a lot of these are Team Dynamics, or Bola B1s are common too.

[@nubie1100]

@@JamesBalazs . Bola are the ones fella 👍🏻.. thanks. Now it's time to get them pennies

[@tollasaron8605]

Are u hungarian in some way? Btw im looking to get an astra too once I have my drivers license

[@JamesBalazs]

Yeah my grandad moved to England from Hungary during the cold war. The surname gives it away 😅 Can't go wrong with an Astra honestly 😁

@@JamesBalazs Thanks man Looking forward to your videos😀

Get that rear wiper off mate 🤙🏾

[@JamesBalazs]

Good idea mate, tints are so dark I can't see out the back anyway and I never missed the rear wiper on my Vectra :)

[@baileybonce7267]

Much easier to debadge and astra if you just don't buy a vauxhall in the first place 😅

[@JamesBalazs]

For some reason I keep buying them 😅 Could be worse - the only acceptable way to debadge a Ford is with petrol and a lighter
