Chromed-Out Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster

A couple weeks back we wrote about a chromed-out Audi R8 supercar spotted in the UK which sparked a heated debate on automotive aesthetics. Now a chrome Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster (above) has been seen prowling around London where it's been turning heads to say the least as you can see. The Lamborghini is already eye-popping enough in normal livery for most folk, so the chromed-out version seems designed to scream "Look at me!" And maybe traffic-choked London is simply the wrong setting for this thing - perhaps it could be quite beautiful out on the Bonneville Salt Flats or something - but it seems to me we're straying into Prince of Brothels territory here. What do you think?

Just an update for you guys, this vehicle is from Dubai. It is actually painted on, then polished by hand. It is a special paint that can be bought. In Duabi they have painted all kinds of cars from Porsches to Bentleys. It's not chrome plating, you can't chrome plate plastic bumpers.

This is terrible. Have you ever driven near a vehicle (usually big rigs) clad too much shiny metal on a sunny day? The reflections just blind everyone else. It's unsafe.
