How can they do that to an expensive car?

I'm no fan of the Maybach, but it doesn't deserve this..![url]

Also, even given that (I presume, judging by the number plate) it's a diplomatic car, how do they get away with a black windscreen and front side windows..?

[Ozzie Osmond]

You should have had a "which is worst" poll,

a) The matt black paintwork
b) The orange....
c) The wheels.

That's a W123 based replica so it's fine.

I think the orange and black are themed colours, I'm sure there are others similarly wrapped/painted.

You don't get diplomatic immunity from PistonHeads.

Isn't that a diplomatic plate? As it's bright orange maybe it's from the Dutch Embassy... you see where I'm going with this - right?

Anyone want to guess what embassy it belongs to??




















You're right!!
269 stands for the United Arab Emirates

In an odd sort of way, I quite like it.

In answer to your question: Diplomatic cars can do pretty much what they like and get away with it.

I really don't understand the obsession for matte black paint on cars. It looks utter ste, and this is just another example of that.

Its better then resale grey

Resale grey really is the new silver though.

At least you have some taste if you go for grey.

And don't look like an enormous penis while driving.

Reminds me of this delight I saw the other day from 'Mconversionz'...

Resale grey is the choice of those that are completely lacking in taste or imagination

You might not like matt black and orange but it shows some imagination

Resale grey shows as much flair as buying a white washing machine

EFA on last sentence.

Isn't taking photo's of diplomats cars a bit iffy as far as the counter terrorism act is concerned?

See you in twenty eight days chap.
