shire350Z Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just been down in london for the weekend and saw no-end of matt black cars only managed to get a couple of pictures of ones parked up though, now from the pictures and a distance they look but get up close and there covered in marks and look like they mark very easily, would really think twice before doing this type colour choice of wrapping i know it looks good (well on some cars IMO)!!! but it marks so easily and the feel of it is Also got a few other pics of nice motors while i was down there Now i love the phantom and a few pics of them in the show rooms but the one i saw on the streets was in a terrible state suppose this guy was from dubai and had about 8 of these but this was in a terrible state cant believe how even his driver let it get, scuffs all round it, corroded wheels and it looked like it hadnt been washed since he bought it Saw nearly every aston going and the DBS's sounded incredible but this was the only one i saw parked up quite a standardish porsche but looked And you see this range rover go would have prob left us guys for dead being a overfinch And to top it all off whata car lurking at the back of the bentley garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shire350Z Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 hmmmmm i think some is def out of my league and out of most other folks on here there were so many other awesome cars but i couldnt get the pics either because they were driving or just to busy from ferrarri 599's to R8's to every kind of AM and some lovely lambo's, pity i never saw any 'hypercars' on the road mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Guess we just take seeing nice cars lying on the side of the road for granted living in the smoke! RR or Bently on every street corner... You missed out on the good stuff though James near Jack Barkley's RR Emporium, The Maclaren, Zonda, Ascari etc showrooms are not far away. Most have something matt black in the window, and quite a few have chromed ones too! Next time I am passing will get some shots for you and post them up in here if you want.. Oh and the plate on the UAE car is probably worth atleast 5 times more than the car So prob better to keep that clean and undamaged than the peice of worthless crap its sitting on !

Stew Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was going to say that was a good plate on the Dubai RR. My dad sent me a pic of a guy he deals with SLR and the plate was 2 - that's worth multiple millions of £. Oh and it's deffo a Vanquish!

Anubis Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 If you head to Park Lane (next to Hyde Park) there is the Dorchester Hotel - garuanteed views of super cars and at least 1 hyper car. There is often an SLR or Veyron outside. There was an Enzo a few weeks ago. Countless Lambo SV's parked there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly I disagree that 90% "don't mean shite", if someone has a serious question then it gets answered..... then theres an off topic section that you can either 'view' or 'not view', I think its pretty simple If you don't want me to b!tch about your 2 posts a day then don't act like a b!tch You have put 2000 posts in 6 months!

Jenni86 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Lol, not too sure about the matt black, looks cheap. Have you seen the special edition 370z, its in the latest Jap Proformance mag, I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i cant believe someone has scuffed my roller!!!!!! I WISH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhavin85 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 In the rollers defence....getting round central london in a massive car like that cant be easy! I used to drive the old mans S-Class into london and i thought that was a tight fit in places.....a phantom is longer and wider...so i can see why they did it! Some lovely pics though....thatVeyron looks stunning and sounds lovely in the flesh matt black is so over played in london I saw an Audi A4 in matt black today on my way to work time for a new crazy...satin white anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1xtyn1n3 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Nice! I do like the idea of a matte car but i've not seen any (besides a few nasty sun faded corsa's!) irl so don't really know what the effect is like up close. The idea of a matte red 350z has been going round my head since i saw this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
