I like it apart from the wheels and the Bs on the seats.

You laugh... it's like a Veilside bodykit!

I think its ok but........ the only thing that bugs me is why do they have to link it to a clothing brand in an attempt to give it cudos , surly the Aston brand is bigger - worth more than the Boss brand so i do not see what Aston had to gain by promoting the Boss brand

I think it is an attempt to cater to the local "bling" market/clientele who like this sort of thing.

An abomination!

thats a wind up right? - you do know that this "boss" has nothing to do with the clothing brand at all ....and the car has nothing to do with Aston Martin either

they are a cheesy tuning firm, most popular with young footballers I think

This 'Boss' has nothing to do with Hugo Boss. It is a car tuning company.

Same here. Wheels are bizarre, rest is OK, but would have to see it in the flesh to really decide.

BODYKIT COMPROMISES OF BUMPERS They need spell checker. They recreated the same mistake on the PH ad.

[froggie]

The seats look like Bently GT items with "B" logo,
i would of liked to seen a rear view

[Guycord]

So you have to ask yourself, what would you rather have for £65k....

This Boss "thing" which is a 2006/06 18k miler monstrosity and (without argument) any taste,

or

A 2008/08 like this one from Bramley's http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1390201.htm where you know the vehicle will be a good-en and properly serviced. Hell! your even near N400 territory for that kinda dosh.

Only mugs and 3rd division football players....

A DBS *cough* style bodykit for a AMV....hhmmmm the idea is OK but well over the top, but I guess that is the point, too chavtastic even for me.

I would sooner wait for the V12V to come down in price to spend my £65K on, give it a couple of years

[cardigankid]

Is it just me, or do other people find that when they go onto the Auto Trader website with its stupid patterned background, and select any kind of picture, their PC locks solid and has to be rebooted? Always, every time.

[Murph7355]

Advertising it like that it misleading. It's not a DBS (Boss Premier Super Duper Edition GLS or otherwise). It's not even a proper DBS bodykit (though arguably the front valance looks a bit like one).

Regardless, it's a mess. Nasty piece of ste that adds nothing to the base car and takes plenty away.

If it were a Nova/Saxo/106 with similar addenda, everyone on here to a man would be ripping the piss out of it.
