Sorry, first popped into my mind was a gold tooth, fur coat, and a gran pompadora....But, maybe, I'm just a looney tune. But, beauty is still in the eye of the beholder.

I like it! Have always digged the chrome wraps on cars.

I am not in Premier League or from the Middle East.

Would have to see it in person to gauge how well the wrap was done. Was in Singapore a few weeks ago and saw a wrapped Gran Turismo that looked well done.

I was at a shop a couple of weeks ago that makes stickers as well as does car wrapping, and there was a brand spanking new Lambo Aventador (white) being wrapped in chrome wrap. I have seen an R-8 wrapped in chrome on several occasions driving through the streets of L.A. To each his own.

Yea we can call it the "Reynolds Wrap Special" and it comes with a really cool set of mirrored sunglasses as a bonus.

Im not going to Lie, but when I saw this picture of a XKR-S wrapped in Chrome and Black I said that's what I was going to do to my XKR. But after I went to a shop and spoke with the owner and he told me that the Chrome wraps after a few months get scratches all over it and if your within 5ft of the car its very noticeable, but if your 20ft away or looking at pictures of the car or see the car drive by its an amazing sight. Also he said that Chrome wrap is a very Premium wrap and would estimate the installation to be $9,000. He recommended to me a Matte dark Grey or Black.

Not only is it attractive, it is the perfect solution for dealing with those wingnuts running with super bright, badly aimed headlights.

The chrome one above does look awesome, in fact I think it would be the most awesome XKR I've seen (sorry Jaggy). I wouldn't have it, though. As was commented above, it is a bit Middle East, with the greatest of respect.

That XKR-S looks awesome with it's chrome wrap. As for insurance purposes, will a insurance company cover a chrome car. If someone drove into it they could sing,
" I WAS BLINDED BY THE CHROME" excuse the song lyric change pun.
