Default OK it's not Silver PLATED.....

Found some more about Sheik ala Bling.
Silver plated maybe definately not as shiney as chrome, a bit 'flat in places and cost is undisclosed;

I reckon that's polished up rather than plated - they're aluminium bodied arent they?

Its NOT silver plated either...

This is translated from the German MTM website...

In Dubai the mtm Audi A8 polished was the eye-catcher. The car was analyzed and in many studies the enamel varnish of the aluminum car body was removed. Furthermore the car was cleaned. After that, the car body was polished with fine abrasive paper as well as special polishes to high gloss. The blank dress must not have any defects, because of the fact that retouching was not possible. Finally the car was protected with special clear varnish against environmental impacts.

Because of the fact that it is impossible to polish plastic parts like front and rear spoilers, mirror house, side sillboard or also fuel tank cap, they were enameled in a complex way to get a chrome effect. Finaly they were polished with clear varnish.


The MTM photo gallery http://www.mtm-online.de/en/showbild...lerie=galerie1 displays the same three exterior photographs shown above, as well as three additional pictures of the car's interior.
