Which idiot specced this £650k+ car and didn't match the colour of the metal on the side strakes (gold) to the colour of the metal on the wheels (silver) ?

Don't know about protective film, I think that owner needs protecting from themselves !

Joking aside, that must be a wrap. Surely nobody who's managed to accumulate that sort of money wants to then piss it up the wall like that. £10k for the paint plus £100'k in depreciation rofl

Although having said that, if it's not a wrap then full kudos to the person who said fk it, I don't care, that's what I want smokin

Someone posted this on twitter from the factory so whilst not impossible, doubt it's film................................ on those side strakes

That means yes, someone really did indeed spec gold side strakes but left the wheels as silver/black..............they really do need to get an eye test

What would it cost to repaint in full, properly without any pink left, at say works ? £30k ? £50k ?

You'd like to think they have bought it for the longhaul but it's just as likely been bought by a rich russian for their 20 yr old princess daughter who will get bored with it next week

It is LHD by the way so thankfully, won't be seen on our roads unless it's a middle eastern buyer who ships it over for the season

You know when someone says they'd sell all their worldly possessions to have a Zagato; this is precisely what Katie Price did.

To all my rich Russian and Middle Eastern friends I apologise for the rather crude stereotypical characterisation posted by Jonby.

Well I'm not sure I'm stereotyping those from the middle east - I didn't suggest all middle eastern buyers ship their cars over for the summer but of those cars that are shipped over to london for the summer, they are pretty much exclusively from the middle east

But I have indeed stereotyped Russians :-)

Well I don't think it's been specced for flipping wink so will be driven more than some (or is that most) smile

and still not keen on rear lights especially on the shooting brake smile

Indeed. It's the details that matter, because other than that, the car is great.

I thought the this design in muted colours looked pretty awful but this is just about as offensive as you can get rolleyes

Reminds me of that ultra cool kid who drove the cartoon Pink Panther up to the theatre in a car like that. (I always hated that kid..SO jealous .)
Now I’m really showing my age!
