How would Rudra polish something like this ?

Rudra Sen · 14th March 2005, 18:39

Will work out a deal with Reckitt & Colman for a continuous supply of SILVO.
Similar with Stanley for Chamois leather.

looks great!! I would love to see some night snaps. it'll be a pain seeing this car at noon and afternoon!
this can be done here also, right?!

Try to get hold of last year's Mercedes calender. Better even, PM Rehaan. He can tell you which post has this here.

Mercedes had a project done just like that a few years ago..............I've got a supplement of their magazine with some photos and details of the photo shoot,etc.It's under my pile of magazines somewhere.A chromed out car would be a great draw in the wet or anywhere for that matter.It would be a disaster in India,whatwith the terrible monsoons and all.

its eye catching ........... love it

autopsyche · 14th March 2005, 22:50

jesal ive always wanted to do that ever since i saw the first chrome finish car, a Jag XJ6. i wish we had the resources, time to do some R&D i guess!

cream · 14th March 2005, 23:16

gawd,

that's ugly...

how do u live with something like that! and as gordon said - what happens when the sun reflects on it - isn't that a driving hazard???

i hope that's not coming on the road soon - please keep it in the garage where it belongs!!!!

Deeps · 14th March 2005, 23:37

I second cream. It looks damn ugly and its not even something that'll grow on you like the WagonR. I'd advise his neghbors to hand-paint the car in the night.

Hatari · 14th March 2005, 23:45

dont think its a bad look..
i do feel they shud have had some parts painted

reminds me on trulli's helmet.. chrome with white n red
pretty smart

That was actually the then new all-aluminium XJ saloon without any paint. It was displayed just to show off the aluminium body. Here's a picture of it.
