I know this forum tends not to favour cars with chrome wheels or window surrounds. But what about cars that are painted to look like chrome effect? Are they super cool or just totally a donkeys car?






And this is the dingbat that owns it..


Linky..

All that money and no brains... IMO though.

cheers

A bit too ostentatious for my taste. I wouldn't want to meet that car coming my direction on a sunny day--probably burn your retinas.
