Wow!!! It needs some decent black wheels and to be driven!!message to self, stop looking at the classifieds......

Yeah ,i bumped into that add the other night.
If i was still looking i would be straight round there.Should be as new and for under 85k seems a bargain.
The chrome does look stunning but not sure i could live with it.Would be a shame to peel it off though.The mrs would probably think it quite useful for touching up the makeup thing .
Then there`s all the possible niggles once it is driven about.
That said i think i`d have to grab it.
Cheers

elton john sold a chrome wrapped r8 for several hundred thousand according to fifth gear at a charity auction... this seems cheap by comparison, and who cares if elton owned it or not!!
only question re price, is it 85 +VAT? this vat qualifying still confuses me....
like you said, what niggles will ensue, if its been started and allowed to warm up, at least the rings in the engine will be fine.... suppose transmission would be biggest issue.... the car i brought had only done 2000 miles before the last keeper over 3 years, and he had to have the pipes for the gearbox accutuator replaced as there with issues with two of the nine hoses!!! why can;t all hoses be steel braided heh!

My OH bought it (and a miura) from a trader in the NEC classic car show last year but I think you can get the same ones on amazon
thanks, off topic but i thought the classic car show was far more interesting than the mph show next door...if anyone is going to topgear live/mph show, i think london is better, unless you are happy to spend most of your day at the classic car show at the nec...

Vat ,yeah i reckon your right.It does mention the "good for export" thing.
If that is the case even with the low miles it kinda stops right there.
For that money your into nice 08 cars with s/history etc.
Glad i`m not the only one hooked on cruzing the classifieds
Hope your enjoying that green thingy mate

black Calisto wheels, glass engine cover and clear indicators, that would look awesomely bling. Nice
Totally agree. I usually hate chrome wraps, because they're all too frequently inflicted on Range Rovers, Merc SLRs, Porsche Cayennes, and making (IMO) fairly ugly cars even tackier and uglier. But have to say, the Gallardo looks great, because an outrageous looking car suits an even more outrageous look sometimes?Gassing Station | Supercar General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
