Hey Cj, what site did you find that picture at, I need to do some more research it is driving me crazy, I need to find out what ind of car that is. It doesn't add up the headlights look like newer A4 lights, but the body looks like older A4, plus it has an A4 lip spoiler on the trunklid. I'll have to further research this later today.

Well, there's a few sites out there that talk about it, but this one is the most important:

It's actually the original aluminum body that's been polished from a company out of Wettstetten, Germany.

Thank you for that website, I have heard of MTM, a lot of AUDI guys I know get a lot of their parts from that company. I guess they have good performance parts, don't know. Anyways, i'm sorry, upon further examination, it is an A8. It just didn't look like one in the pictures. I guess it just goes to show you that you can do anything with money.

Actually there is no difference between an S8 and an A8 except engine mods.

what makes you think it is an S8. MTM makes mods for all Audis. As far as any of us know it is a plain A8.

Thanks for the info Jake. Sure would be nice if there was a good cheap alternative to dipping. Has anyone tried the chrome like powder coating?

I cannot help you in identifying the Audi since I am glad to say that I know nothing about any of those forms of cars. But the question on powder coating I can add something to.

I have used the chrome colored powder coating with the clear coat powder on top. It looks like silver to me. Not any better.

Now back to discussing foreign cars.
