YUK

A photo of David Beckham's Porsche Turbo Convertible in matte black turned my stomach .Why anyone would want a convertible Turbo anyway is a mystery to me but the fashion of painting supercars in what looks like primer leaves me totally cold . The fact that some manufacturers are charging over $50000 for this "special " paint is ridiculous .
However this matte black classic 300SL seen at last year's Le Mans Classic takes the prize .However as Patrick in his comment says --
" paint jobs are just a body-shop stop away so no permanent harm done" .And it will be an easy paint job as the primer is already there .

  1. that beckham porsche was an abomination. this however is just tacky. as you say, yuk! good news is that paint jobs are just a body-shop stop away so no permanent harm done, no need for terminal solutions. just think of it as a great big 'wanker' flag? As long as they do not start cutting the metal up to add flairs, fins or make them convertibles ... as (ahem) so many p-car owners did in the terrible 80's ;-)
