Audi A8: being polished for Dubai customer

Jalopnik has a nice report about a polished Audi A8 for a customer in Dubai. The tuning was done by MTM and looks similar to the Audi A8 Space Frame prototype which was shown in Tokyo some years ago and which you can see now in the Audi museum in Ingolstadt, Germany.

The original paint was completely stripped to the metal (and plastic) using the finest-grained sandpaper this side of a baby’s bonnet. Then, the metal parts were polished to a high gloss, while the plastic parts were layered in a chrome-emulating series of paints and varnishes. Afterward, the 4.2-liter V8 was also tweaked to 450hp, a custom, ride-leveling suspension was installed and a set of really (really) shiny MTM rims were fitted.
