Agreed - but at around $20,000 a go, probably beyond your average chav!

Jesus H Christ on a bicycle. Money definitely can't buy you taste
For your twenty grand does it also come with a bouncer to stop people writing 'I am a prize c*nt' over the roof any time you park it up?

i didnt think gold leaf was that expensive
a truly crap way of modifying you car
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Watching "How it's Made" or similar a while back they did US fire engines which had gold leaf.
They swept the floors and got £10,000 for a dozen or so bags full of sweepings so I guess it has value, but not more than about £200 for a roof.
We'll be having someone do some leafing on a piece soon so I should be able to get an idea on cost
Might do my helmet with it

I'm off to buy shares in plasticote, if this catches on with the chavs the sales of their gold paint will go through the roof!
(pun intended)
Incidently I have tried many things to improve my car but since I removed the rear view mirror I have not looked back.
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

In a country where 1300 old people died in one winter, because they couldn't afford to heat their homes, there are pricks that will waste
£20,000 to look a twat! 
Oh death, where is they sting?
Apologies for the use of expletives, but sometimes you just can't be polite.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

That should cause a stir among the ladies

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
