I dont suppose we might request pictures of your car? Can you point me to a link if youve posted some, previously? Looks great.

The chrome is way too much, but I'd drive something painted in the Mclaren F1 silver

Must be popular in the Mid East

I can't imagine keeping that finish looking good - must have servants for that.

Scott-- Agreed; preponderance of 'chrome' finish cars have Dubai or Persian Gulf plates.

Only makes sense to see those reflective windows to be in demand for 'chrome' cars. I've seen similar window film on cars in Mexico for years, on otherwise normal vehicles.

IMHO, I suspect the overall TLC required to keep them shiny is actually a little less than a nice black paint job. Simply a hunch they're more like a silver paint finish than glossy black. Could easily be wrong; anyone have exerience cleaning a car like these?

From AutoBlog:

There was an official release of the all-aluminum Bugatti Pur Sang somewhere in Frankfurt this week, but it wasn't at the official Frankfurt Auto Show. In fact, once it was shown -- presumably, once -- it wasn't seen again. Not much of a loss, really, because you won't be likely to see one either: Bugatti's only making five of them. That's even more exclusive than the edtion-of-twenty Lamborghini Reventon.

The Pur Sang is a standard-issue Bugatti stripped of all of its paint. That means raw aluminum and carbon fiber face the 200+ MPH elements in their naked states.

I think the guy ought to drive cross country and back in the rain, and stay in cheap ****ty hotels just to show off his shiny POS.
