A friend of mine got his Mercedes G55 wrapped in chrome foil. Its also supposedly the first chrome car in Kuwait because it isn’t usually legal to do. He used to have it matte black before but I think this looks cooler since EVERYONE is wrapping their cars in matte black.

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.

really? it is illegal to do? didnt kno tht.. any special reasons?
Is there any rolls royce in Kuwait? I saw your post on maybach but I am curious about the rolls royce :)
Chrome is counted as dangerous because it reflects the sun but I think he was able to get permission because its actually foil chrome and not as shiny and mirror like as proper chroming.
That is honestly ugly! Seriously ugly! What was he thinking? He is asking to be stopped by the cops!
If the color isn’t preapproved by the cops then its illegal!
ahh.
They should put a sign behind it that says “UNMICROWAVABLE”
hmmmmm.. I’ve been a chrome Audi R8 in Kuwait.
That is one ugly car- I think they must have let it in as a piss take.
I wouldn’t waste money on something like this.The way people drive here it won’t be long before they ‘unfoil’ a part of your car, even when it’s parked.
why wud he do that to such a gorgeous car ;(
Mercedes Benz are going to stop producing this car once they see this…
Mark you should chrome out your wrangler
WOOW ..
Baziz: its a wrangler, only thing that will look good on it is mud ;)
It’s not the chrome, its what you do with it that counts – /wink
is matte black illegal in kuwait?
is there any way to use it without getting in trouble???
look at the beauty and class in this car design !! WOOW !
dumbness
it’s non simple car, it’s ART wala maaashalah !!..
Saw it in shamiya
That’s one ugly car
This car is a beauty, tell u r friend mark that he’s good taste when it comes to cars. Brilliant car with ferocious performance. Personally i think its just showing off wraping up a car in tin foil, it just ruins the look. This car is NATURALLY cool with beast-like performance.
Mark, you should check out the road test video by top gear on this car.
that’s one fugly choice
Why is it ugly?
The man wanted to chrome out his car.. It’s only foil! He can remove it any time he wants. He wanted a new look for his G55.. Which by the way would look sexy in chrome in my own opinion.
Mark: Mud + chromed wrangler in middle of the desert = Heaven! It will be amazing if some body shoots some good pictures like that. I never saw a chromed out wrangler covered in mud, standing above a rock or a cliff. It will be a unique set of pictures. DO IT!
Would the same foil work on RC car bodies? It will be interesting to see a couple of chromed out Tamiya Trucks or cars! Does it stick on polycarbonate,plastic or only metal?
Maybach 62s is much better…
(((HO)(T))(E)(R)))RIBLE!
Mark, this isn’t the first chrome car, my cousin bought his car from the sates and it was in chrome, but he liked the fact that it was chrome and had o paint it gtry chrome which turned out to be amazing, it’s the same as this one and he only drive it at night, ’cause it reflect the sun in a crazy way and the fact you don’t want to see people get killed because of your paint job.
money + no brain =
It looks like shit and should be illegal but this is kuwait so wasta is above the law.
Imagine that thing driving down a desert highway and tell me it’s not gorgeous.
If i was him i would’ve armored it, after all it IS the middle-east and some jealous soldier (not saying who) might get trigger-happy and shoot it up.
Looks like aluminum foil ..
was just going to post what K said.
Baziz u r correct .. He wana let his G55 look more sexy and more luxury .. And it is .. I saw this car on real .. ! Hey guys this car is “brutal car for brutal man!
Daaaaaaaamn Riiiiichy !!
Distinguished taste ! ;)
DREAM meets reality.
Eee wala , MAAAASHALA ! Alla ybarekla feeha inshalah .
horrible display of wealth! Down with capitalism! lol..
Seriously this car looks pathetic, maybe he can be the one to change the mindset of Russian and East European Private Security Contractors in Iraq who swear by the Merc’s machoism!!
the car looks awesome
i know the owner wld lshallal . Btw .. He got the permission 2 drive it !!
amazing very nice work love it!
Borzaiga.. A7medo hal sina yakmil 18 :P .. so lets not talk about “He got permission” :P .. and guys please, bad mouth the car but not the owner, show alittle respect, everyone got his own taste, and this car’s to me is smokinhot!
