The shieks do this all the time with the all aluminum A8's over in Iran.   


I honestly don't think it looks that bad but then again I'm not the biggest Mercedes fan.


Reminds me of the spaceships in the newer Star Wars movies.

Perfect solution if you think your black car is too easy to keep clean.

I thought the same thing.  I expect to see Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson clime out of it.

Best part is flat black paint absorbs "lasers".   [thumbsup]

Upon second glance, it looks a lil egg-shelly...

Yep, definitely a fan of the SLR Dark. Think it comes with lower spec suspension, though?
