Oh God it actually appears to be genuine, I dont know whether to laugh or cry?

Gulzar, can I ask in all seriousness what the hell the Playboy bunny plates are all about..... do you seriously think they look good?

Genuinely looking forward to the answer on this one!

lol are you the type of person to, after much effort, get Tyra Banks into bed and then suddenly be disgusted because 1 fingernail colour doesnt match the others? and then make your excuses and leave? Its only a £30 removable plate bud! - was one of 20 rather dull graphics available when I ordered online so I thought heck - why not try it! in all honesty yes im not too happy with them at the mo - but as I said its a minor accessory!

And regrds job - I am a stocktrader,

And re: the range rover lol! - im petrified to post that now! haha

Fair play - got anything quick and do you drive or get driven?

I DRIVE!! Im a young man and I love cars... so every minute my hands are around the steering wheel I love it, most I've done is 530 miles in a single go (and single tank even more suprisingly!) and felt good!

Thats a 2005 or a 2004 roller?

Congratulations on the purchase its good to see people doing well.

Hi bud - thanks! Its a 2005 but I only bought it about 6 weeks ago and gave it back to Rolls Royce to have it "golden'd"! I've never bought a brand new car as the depreciation on all vehicles is just plain suicide and so long as Sir Alan Sugar's daughter keeps rejecting my marriage proposals - it'll stay that way lol!

odear odear, ok your profile says you have a BENTLEY
lets see pics of that now.

Sure - completely standard (except for the silver lower grills and the *drum rolls* playboy plate! har har!! )

Crappy first post, but im pretty sure i saw this the other night in Hayes (bromley, s.e london), the reg looks really familiar. If so get your arse round here to give me a ride!

I was in south hall for a few hours but other than that I havent been in london in the rolls!

[Gulzar]

Appreciate all oppinions :] and lol - this is probably more fun when theres such a divide!

re: dodge stripes - I use to have dodge strips all the way down the range rover and even had some vents on the front (stick on - only £10 LOL) but it started looking too much like a giant toy so I (with tears) yanked em off!

Heres an old pic,

Did the bonnet stripes leave a mark? On that top picture it looks like there are lines running down where the stripes used to be, especially on the left hand side

I think I took the pic the same day I took off the stripes but today there are no marks left whatever there I managed to wash off!

congrats on making enough money to be able to afford these cars!

what stocks do you more specifically trade?

not interested in ferraris / lambos? there quite good for getting noticed too!

Thanks!
I day trade - and only big companies (ftse top 20) and I leverage big time but I can tell you now that these cars were not bought with any profit made this year (because there was barely any!) ha!

I owned a lambo diablo about 3 years ago fantastic car but was a sudden purchase and sold it for a profit after only 2 months. Seller was selling his deceased son's possessions who was a bridge architecht and was selling everything at below market value to raise cash(including boat, other cars, house etc) what his intentions were I dont know I just saw it being sold (locally) for way below market value! Also I find things like F430 and Gallarado are definately not everyday cars, you barely have enough space for a brief case! The continental is lovely (as long as your rear passengers have skinny catwalk legs) and boot has enough space for maybe 4 bodies! :-O

aye

any chance you'll be posting pics anytime soon?

[Gulzar]

thats right mate! you local?

[Gulzar]

Aye give me a frantic wave and I'll do likewise if I see you!

[Gulzar]

Im afraid I will have to upset a few more of you...... we've had some more gold plating done lol! Pics to follow soon!

[Gulzar]

Right! Here we go!

Started off doing the mascott in 24carrot gold,




Was pleased with the outcome and decided the PH population wouldn't be disgusted enough so decided to do the fog light surrounds in 24carrot too!


Another pic showing front fog lights/mascott


Door Handles and key hole done (one side only atm so couldnt take a clear "head on" pic as was parked awkwardly but will do on friday!)


Indicator light surrounds (tiny things) will also be done friday, wheel spokes are also being done (dont worry - not the whole wheel! just the little chrome bits!) and have ordered gold numberplate surrounds lol

Interested to hear comments! Will probably be needle in a haystack to find someone who likes what I've done too lol

I like the fact you have a sense of humour.

I also love the fact you are doing by yourself in your garage - probably one of the only Phantom owners to do so I bet!

Did you do the whole bonnet yourself?

Nono! Its our garage but I didnt do any of the work myself! Had 24 carrot gold vinyl plastered all over the car by company called Racoon and the gold plating done by a gentleman from GoldGenie (a company featured on dragons den seeking investment - which they got!) I was just hanging around and took pics in the process! Very ingenious and interesting method of electro plating (probably not something new but - I seem to have been living in a cave!) mobilly without having to dismantle objects! We have given various otherwork to be gold plated such as a horse statue, an old trohpy of ours, table stands etc ! and gold plating the entire front grill is a possibility at some point in the future (PH'ers get your sick bags ready!) however with gold reaching near $1100 an ounce I suspect people will have their hammers and chissels at the ready whereever we park lol
