it would be the "factory released" argument, like lambo's and porsches can get away with having roadscraping ride height because it's from factory. They would never let a "normal" road car be chromed.

martydaman...

i dont think the jag is for sale, it just an advertisement thing. it wouldnt be legal, and it would cost too much.....

i have seen ads with the chrome jag in magazines more than 6 years ago(national geographic magazine).. so its a long term advertisement thing.

making the body out of aluminium will not magically make the car half the weight... i would say manufacturers only make parts of the body out of the stuff if the car is getting excessively heavy.

a few cars that i know of that have aluminium(some only parts of the car) panels that are still TANKS: (or not light compared to other cars similar size/class)

audi a8 (1750kg)

audi a2

audi 80 (1460kg)

honda nsx (1390 not)

skyline GTR (1560)

bmw 6 series (even has plastic bootlid, ugly one too!) (1815!!!!)

i saw a 645 the other day with 21' bmw rims lots of dish and lowered.. 295 rear section tyres, looked good from front and side...dog ugly from the rear though. rims/tyres must have been like 30kg each!

they are still legal height!

or else they get around it somehow ie. the last of the diablos had adjustable height front suspension for driveways etc. 4wd style lol.

You can always tell when its school holidays...

The Mercs that were linked were a special run (I think only three from memory) for promo shots. The Jag was just for the release of the new XJ and is not and was not sold without paint.

It would be illegal to chrome a bonnet because it would create a hazard for both you and other motorists.

LW.

    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical
