On a '57 Chrysler 300C, Black and gold is stunning.
But it had 26 lbs of gold chrome covering 580 square feet of car.
A totally different animal.
Gold "trim" is so overused to "luxury-up" cars these days... Ohhh my beige Camry has the gold package.... bleck.
Chrome to me, though far less tacky, is still overused.

One of the things I have always liked about the XF is that it's not like anything else out there. I like to be different.

Nobody (other than the occasional lowrider/showcar) ever uses copper, probably because it does tarnish, but It's a beautiful deep warm metal,
And looking at the car, it's art-deco lines, and my minds eye just sees copper there. I can't wait to get it done now.

To that end, I'll be lucky if I have the A-pillars and grille painted (and maybe some CICCI swag) to show off, itsky.
I have a feeling the costs involved in having all the ancilliary bits done in Copper is going to take some saving for. I'm actually on a pretty tight budget; the purchase of the XF itself is eating all my "spare" money.
