Gilding The Bentley
The gilding of China’s supercars continues. Says Carnewschina: ”
“One Chinese owner of a hyper exclusive Bentley Continental Supersport found his vehicle just not cool enough and made it even more exclusive by wrapping it and gold, and some carbon fiber-wrap on the bonnet for good measure. Well, what is taste? I certainly looks striking…”
If you want more gauche gold, here it is. And it is not true that China’s capital will be renamed to Beibling.

Didn’t the last gold car get repossessed (or possessed) by the government for not having a license? I guess this person thinks the law can’t touch them as well. It depends on who u know, in Middle Kingdom, some of these folks do have enormous amount of clout, and they're sure above the law! They can almost re-write the law to their advantage. the ones with Military connection can get away with murder too, literally.
