Is it allowed to drive such a car?

If the sun is shining on it, you would be blinded...
I think it's a pimpmobile....

I don't think it is a wrap. There is a technique of painting a car with a special white paint and then with some special lacquer applied it reacts with the paint and creates the chrome effect. Some bloke in Italy developed it I think.

Agreed. How to spoil a fantastic car and spend a fortune at the same time - more money than sense IMO.
