Chromed Ferrari 599 GTB
In Saudi Arabia you can probably see even more exclusive cars than you would in Monaco. With high oil prices some people there make so much money that they don’t know what to do with it.
Owner of a 599 GTB had his whole car chromed.

You either like it or you hate it. I think it is different, draws lot of attention and looks very cool.
Would like to see the car on a sunny day.
You probably need a very good pair of sunglasses so that the reflection from sun won’t hurt your eyes.
