Gold for Mercedes-Benz

December 18, 2008 by Matt Brogan  




While the rest of the world is going broke, one guy in the Middle East doesn’t seem to be suffering from quite the same fate with more than enough cash left over to plate his new Mercedes-Benz in white gold.

Though hardly practical due to the obvious weight addition, you’ve got to admit, it looks the goods and we guess if you have this sort of cash, then why not!

    you wouldn’t be leaving parked in a shopping centre car park, would you? but it looks bloody unreal.

  2. Matt says:

    That looks awesome! You’d need a good pair of Ray Bans to wash your car though :)

    No.

    That car just looks awesome! Always thought the SLR looked a tad cheap, don’t know why, but in it’s gold-plated guise it looks stunning!

  5. Myke says:

    I love it, lol why don’t most car brands offer this as a colour?? :D

  6. Devil666 says:

    Darren, Yes! Next to that hideous 6 series BMW.

  7. GTR says:

    Awesome! But can you see out of those windows?

    “quick robin,to the new batmobile”

  9. Frontman says:

    well I guess that guy down the road with the fully pollished alloy A8 that has been floating around for a while feels a bit p1$$ed

  10. Darren says:

    Yes Devil666, that’s the one.

  12. pfft says:

    lol,this news is old

  13. The Salesman says:

    What will it transform into?

  14. Car Tuning says:

    i remember i’ve seen a Mercedes fully covered with diamonds that also belongs to someone from middle east. These guys are waaaay too rich and that’s just because they control the price for petrol.

    • Shak says:

      Not just petrol but all oil. They got lucky by living there from the beginning whereas the yankee’s wanted the rest of the world and when they couldnt get The Oily Lands, they start a war.

  15. AutoBazar says:

    but it looks bloody unreal…

  19. FRUGAL_ONE says:

  20. me says:

    Yes, the crisis is came! to paint the car is very expensive, we don’t need any extra doors…))) well done

  21. Dourbest says:

    If you have money, why wouldn’t you do this? i’d do with great pleasure O_O. And stop saying your pretty stupid opinions about crisis. Every thing has 2 sides.

  22. flaver says:

    this is fake, i swear!
    Look at the reflections on car, or shadows!
    Also – the texture of the floor – is standart for 3DS Max ArchMat Library…

  25. дрищ says:

    оло-ло, оло-ло
    все чурки педиры и хуйло !11

  26. The mercedez name alone already made me drool how much more for the gold.

  27. Look-aa says:

    why would you do it anyway? Looks crap, you can roast in it, and it weighs one ton more… make it in carbon fibre or kevlar to be different, no? Or why didn’t he buy a Ferrari or a Lambo, instead?
    And then again.. didn’t he have enough money to do it in real 24 carats gold instead of plating it?

  28. Look-aa says:

    and honestly in the pictures looks chromed, not gold plated.

  29. Craig says:

    I bet birds come from far and wide to target this beauty!

  30. 24Karat Gold Plater says:

    I couldn’t let this one pass by unsaid.
    The Benz has actually been sprayed with activated Silver, to achieve a reflective Chrome look and doesn’t add to its weight. He could have chosen a series of final reflective colours, I just find the Chrome colour frankly boring & why I have an electroplating business where I Gold Plate among other things Chrome & Stainless steel Car Accessories & Trims, with 24Karat Gold. If anyone is interested to see any recent works ie Wheel Rims, please drop me a line in Sydney’s North West at go24karatgold@gmail.com

    Cheers.

    Question? How many starving children can go for a ride in a white gold mercedes benz at one time. Answer? Don’t bother – it’s rhetorical. Not a bleeding heart – just extremely tired of the excesses of the rich and the envious, drooling, not-so-rich.

  32. Tom says:

    LETS STEAL IT !!! melt it and pay off a third world country debt !!!

  33. G-man says:

    That has to be the best Mazda I have ever seen…Japanese cars are the best!

  34. Tuning says:

    Too glossy, that will blind all the ppl around it when driving on a sunny day.

  35. Kole says:
