You know how they do this? I know how they do this, because I saw it at the Abu Dhabi Motor Show last month.
There’s this company–I forget its name, but I remember that it’s German–that specializes in car “foiling”: basically, it shrink-wraps a film on the car. At the show they had a couple of cars, mostly Mercedes, shrink-wrapped in shiny gold, shiny aluminum (looked horrible), and matte black (which is trendy here in the UAE now, and actually looks really cool).
My take: imagine the amount of fingerprints you’ll have to wipe off of your car everyday! Also, TACKY.
foil-a-car.
In dubai there’s a german body shop where you can foil your car..

ITS UGLY!!!!
The license plates clearly say Abu Dhabi not Dubai, but w/e.
Where would you take it to fix scratches and dents?
LOL, it looks like something James Bond would love, or maybe one of his super-villains!

Ahmed its GOLD not Chrome
the yellow lights make it look gold. but its chrome.

i heard that its ‘white gold’.
Its not chrome, its GOLD, can’t you guys see from the pictures? Gold is a yellowish color, Chrome is a whitish color. If you want to see how a chrome colored benz looks like check this

It’s definitely chrome. The lighting of the picture itself has a yellow tint where someone could easily could have mistaken the car to be gold; however, it is chrome. There is just one golden mercedes-an SLR- created out there, if one could see in the Top Gear issue a few months back (not sure when as my memory fails me) rumored to have belonged to Waleed Bin Talal.
My eyes !!!
Ok, one more time its NOT chrome It’s gold. Whats wrong with you people? its not a color balance issue, check this picture

notice the WHITE dishdashe and the GOLD benz.
I don’t know. I think it’s because we good people cannot accept, in our heart of hearts, that something so horrendously kitsch could ever, EVER be created. But I now sadly see that I stand mistaken *aghast*. What’s next, I ask myself. For the time being, I’ll be preparing my warm bath, razor blades and Nirvana’s Greatest Hits album for when I see gold plated kandoras/dishdashas hit Mall of the Emirates next.
can any1 pronounce hailag?
It’s a new trend but I don’t think it will catch on. How much does having this done cost?
