Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Gets Gold Wrap in China

Some chrome wrapped cars are over the top, and we say they attract a bit too much attention. Others simply look out of place, with the overly-shiny foil applied over their bodies.

However, this Mercedes-Benz E63, from China, wrapped in gold chrome, with a contrasting glossy black roof looks really good. It just suits the car, and the idea of opulence and luxury, which Mercedes-Benz themselves want to convey with their larger cars.

We particularly like this wrap job, because the finish is not overly-shiny, like other efforts from China that we’ve seen.

The rest of the car appears completely stock, and it even has the smaller 18-inch AMG rims, which is actually a good thing, because they give the car a much better and more compliant ride.

The car was spotted the Chinese city of Fuzhou, in the Fujian Province. We have been disappointed by some tuning and wrapping efforts from China, but if we see more cars like this one, it does mean that the level of car culture in the PRC is rising, and the quality of the cosmetic work done to the cars.

Sheer Lack of Taste Ruins Lamborghini Aventador in China

We have said it before, and we`ll say it again - the lack of car culture and taste, in this case, turns most tuning efforts into complete failures. Just have a look at this Lamborghini Aventador, a car which was designed by talented and passionate designers - it is now completely ruined, but not because somebody has crashed it, but because it has been very distastefully modified.

We get the chrome blue wrap - we totally get it, but the orange accents completely ruin the whole look of the car! Why would anybody want to accentuate the seams between the fenders and bumper, or between the hood and the bumper, or the door lines.

Lamborghini has worked very hard to make the Aventador look stunning, and they have genuinely succeeded. It not only looks good, but it drives equally impressively, as you can learn by reading our full test drive of the Italian supercar.

It`s a shame how people ruin these stunning cars like this. If changing the look of the car is what they want, they should get some people who actually know what they`re doing handle it.

Also, if the idea you want to apply is bad, and will make the car worse, somebody should follow you and stop you, for the sake of your sanity and for the preservation of your car’s good looks.

Hummer H2 Limo Chrome Wrap from Russia

If you thought to yourself “this article is about Russia, it should have a crash” than your reaction to the stretched limo must be “oh, that needs to be crashed to pieces”. However, if you fill a chrome Hummer H2 with Russian playmates, you’d be living the American dream better than any Vegas man would.

So yes, we actually do approve of Russian tuner RE-Stlying’s efforts to wrap a black H2 stretched limo in a reflective chrome surface like no other.

We love the exterior, which brings the party to the Hummer, but it’s inside where the magic happens. You’ve got nightclub creature comforts, music, drinks and lights.
“Every day on the streets of any city you can find dozens of limousines and they usually do not stay long in the memory, by the dull colors, which are already rather boring,” RE-Stlying says, which is why they took things to the max with 11 meters of chrome.
