For those of you who like gold plated cars but are not willing to go the same extremes as the Russian owner of the Porsche 911 that covered his entire car in the precious metal (see here), London-based firm, Alchemist, specializes in applying a lustrous coat of 24-carat gold to the roof of any car. Alchemist uses a new patented process to cover a car’s roof with the purest gold leaf. Prices start at £12,500 or about $23,300 / €15,700 and each rooftop is signed and numbered and the client presented with a certificate of authenticity. -ContinuedAnd if a gold plated roof top isn’t tacky enough, wealthier clients can also opt to embed precious gemstones into the gold leaf for a sparkling effect. Once that’s done you may want to pay a visit to your local jeweler and get a matching gold grill inlaid with precious stones to complete that blingy Midas look...
