I think that's the aluminum body polished, not actually chromed.

aluminum scratches too easily and also the bumpers are plastic which is now possible to chrome. there have been some new techniques developed which allow one to chrome flexible plastics.

I remember seeing some chrome (or polished aluminium) 3-series BMW pictures somewhere in the net, that car was nice too.

the top upgrade on the mtm website is 500ps for the 4.2 v8. should make it shift!
but the picture of this car has only the basic power output below it.

especially with the kind of sun they get wherever those pics were taken !!

but in the extremely hot weather of the middle east, would such a system be good in keeping the passenger cabin a bit cooler by reflecting away heat/sun ?

They didn't have a problem doing it with the new XJ. Why would the A8 be harder to accomplish?
