The very definition of each to his own…

So long as you like it, good on you, OP.

There's going to be a few boring old farts telling you it's horrible no doubt but I quite like it.

But fk them, it's your car, good on you for doing something different with it.

Edit: just noticed the black & gold Veyron... very cool.

Surely this whole thread is a wind up of some description ?

That would look bloody awful in the UK, but over there in Dubai I think you can get away with it.

Interesting but why is the reflective effect (colour match) from panel to panel so different once the brushed layer is added?

It's quite a thick layer.

haha, that is a real marmite thing - people will either love it or hate. Personally I think its a bit of fun and guessing as its a wrap in a couple of years you can change it again

Surprised you needed to order new badges though? Couldn't you just paint the originals?

Hhhmmm, as said above, each to their own. At least the original paintwork is nicely protected ☺
