Get hold of a new Jag XJ6, get out some vicious rubbing compound and lots of Silvo ;). You'd have to keep repolishing it though. You could always strip the car to the shell, take all the paint off it, polish it to a mirror finish and get it anodised.

Bet you it has dilithiam crystals.

How about that Renault grey that looks like primer!!! anyone else seen that?

They lacquer brass and copper so it should be possible to do the same with ali. Whatever happened to Lord and Lady Docker's Gold plated Daimler? Here it is - they made a hell of fuss in the 50's about the extravagance but it seems the stars were paint and it was just the brightwork that got plated with gold.

Sadly no, it just gives you a 2" penis. Sorry, but that's life!

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Guy King saying something like:
