The ultimate Ferrari 458 Italia.

[Cyrus43]

I have always wanted to replicate the crazy Arab super cars that I have seen in London.

SO I have two choices then, Chrome or Carbonfibre.

Here is a Video of a chrome plated 458 that came to the Gumball..

Opinions??

To me it looks stupid..

How do you plan to go about the chroming process?
And how about the full Al Thani fleet in light blue?

[manishalive]

Ah there you go, i said that earlier . Paint pink or parrot green. and the spray on chrome does not comes out good.

[abhi_c]

Chrome looks ugly on the car. It's like raping the vehicle.
@Manish: true that! Spray will not come out good on chrome.

[Cyrus43]

It won't be sprayed chrome. It will be proper chrome plated. It is a new technique that has just been developed and is quite expensive to be honest..

[Petrolhead]

If it's quite expensive then don't do it!The chrome Ferrari 458 Italia looks weird.

[rollingthunder]

It looks like a Tin car. Ferrari will always looks best in red.

Lets see. I have 4 458s now, so Intend to repaint one. Cant decide on if I should repaint the matter black one or the pearl blue one

[Slix.Salakshya]

Don't lose the Matte Black, that one looks totally awesome. And Pearl Blue I think is not the right color for such a car but it's definitely better than chrome, yea don't chrome. You can paint it matte white with black roof like the one Mumbai has, it looks very hot & maybe a set of lip rims to compliment the dual paintjob.
