For National Day in the UAE it's a tradition for Emiraties to decorate their cars with UAE colors and flags, some guys go a little further.

This guy that runs the AutoTrader in Dubai spent 40,000AED (just under $11K USD) to have his car done for the weekend celebrations, (it was done at the same shop that does work for me and other SLR's that I've posted pics of);





The car was in the shop to have all the vinyl removed. $11K USD for a long weekend - and people say Dubai and it's population is broke, ya right!

And yes, this is another 722! I think that's 3 I've seen in the last month now.

 

Wow. Is that the owners face on the back window?

 

No, that is the founder of the UAE, the late SH Zayed. National pride is very, very strong in the Emirates, it's nice to see. As a whole Emirates nationals are really good people and very proud of their country and heritage - being ultra wealthy also keeps them happy too I suppose!

 

I would think so.

 

Those colors actually look real well together on the car.

 

Yeah, they do great work. I stopped by a few days ago and they had a brand new, right off the lot G55 AMG wrapped in gold foil. The work was so good that from a foot away you'd swear they melted actual gold all over the truck. Cool stuff.

 

that is ****** cool !!
the gold foil G sounds sick too....

 

Now that's love for ones country!!

 

Arab Money
but this guys pushed it too far

 

National Day 2011 just passed, it was the 40th year - it was amazing seeing some of the detail jobs this year, massive money spent. One Emirati lady had her Beemer decorated with the 40 year detailing for... wait for it.... prepare yourself... 160,000AED! That's about $43,000USD!

Next time I go back to the detailing shop I'll try to get some pics of this years designs for you guys.

 

You should look @ other Arabs when celebrating the National Day by exploding their Land Cruiser 2010/11 in the middle of the high way & ditching it to continue celebrating in another car.

 

Sweet mother of all!!! nice designs on the SLRs !

 

Gold foil....cool......really? Wow.

 

What's cool about it.? Please do share.

I agree the gold foil is "sick" enough to make one vomit, twice.

 

Being of German descent (born there) might have something to do with why I'm appalled at this picture.

 

Because he can do it with the spare change in his couch and you can't....that's why

 

Are you asking for the MBWorld Debbie Downer award of 2012, BRUTALLYHONEST?

PS why do you yell when you say your name?

 

LOL You can't talk to him like that.......he's of 'german descent' remember?

 

Being that the owner of the car is of Emirati descent, I dont think he nor anyone else here cares what you think. We all know that if there is a pot of sh|t about, you're in there with both hands mixing it up hero.
