shiny happy people

must drive cars like these. Is this the original "metallic" silver finish?

Why? Who? When? and what on earth were they thinking? Still, you could sand it up and paint it matt black next for a change.

This finish was applied to many cars including 211's that went out to the oil sheiks some 3 years ago.. It must be a bugger to touch up, or match in

If I'm not mistaken it's only a vinyl wrap which can be removed quite easily. Think of the Sky vans with the wildlife pictures on them.

I actually like it :] ...... Guess I fit the bill, 'London' and 'Sheik', just missing the 'rich' and 'oil' bits :)

Not sure it would be a good idea being driven in bright sun light.... would be a hazard.

so so sorry, i would never own one, but i LOVE that someone does. that is fantastic, much better than spinning hub caps, black tints and pearlescent purple paint. as an object i think it works very well, i suggest it is only marred by the associations we assume.
