Surely that's a vinyl wrap!?!?!?!?

Are you sure that isnt a photoshop?

Could someone seriously have that much money an no taste... silly me, rich guy buys wife a car an she says but i want it in pink lol

imagine the depreciation on that though, if 1year old ones are 45k being pink must knock another 10-20% of the value straight away. thinking about it the money you save you could afford to respray it!

Im 99% certain it is a wrap, looking at the audi badge. Parked in Casino Square as well so prb just wrapped for a joly i reckon.

ah wrap - should have thought of that. although saying that i understand it costs around £1500-3000 to have a whole car wrapped which is still silly money.

Suits the car very well IMO

No arguements about the pink being hideous and indeed adding to the depreciation, but where the hell have you seen second hand R8's for £45K? I haven't seen anything much under 65!

Im presuming the confusion came from that £45k offer that was made from a stealer recently:

indeed i confess i didnt bother to properly research the values. Bare in mind i was speaking to a friend who works in a dealership and the classic line of "nothing is making book price right now" was mentioned on a couple of occasions so 45K as shocking as it sounds didnt seam too ridiculous to me!

either way i heard a comment from a garage owner about a couple of pink cars that were found to be write offs where people had had them sprayed pink in the hope they could sell them to girls who know nothing about cars!
