Now because the e-mail says its silver .. I'm questioning if anybody knows it is chrome paint for sure.

A8's are aluminum...polish the shit out of it and you're done I guess haha. Bumpers + other plastic shit is probably chromed.

Last I heard, it was polished aluminum. Silver would be freakishly heavy, I think.

Maybe it is like that chrome M3 out of Toronto?

Just google the name of the builder that is on the license plate and stuck on the windshield (Motoren Technik Mayer).

As to just how shiny polished aluminum can be... check out what they used to fly in the Korean war (http://www.kciaviation.com/images/Gallery/F86.gif).

Dammit i guess i just lost a bet saying it was made or painted in a chrome(ium) paint. Stupid me. Well all my friend saidwas that it was silver. I guess we were both kinda wrong
