Too much Bling??

Postby de Carabas » Thu Aug 17, 2017 12:11 pm

Reminds me of a 3 series BMW I nearly bought once because it was so much cheaper than other colours. Lucky I changed my mind when somone at work pointed out I would look like a pimp.

Those pimp paint jobs are quite funny, In some cases they can be ok... But I hope they will use the gold shader in a tastier way in the future... More like a ribbon of gold or some mechanical parts in gold or chrome, instead of dipping everything in a gold bath. Ships and vehicles painted in gold like that look more like giant trophies, than actual vessels.

Good lord! :shock:

Someone, somewhere thought to themselves "this would be a great idea". A person that could think that is not someone that I would feel safe around.

the fact they have a drivers licence is the really scary part.

The nearby car was registered in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Sun is not a risk.
