Chrome Mercedes McLaren SLR Brabus prowls the streets of London [video]

Classic Mercedes-McLaren SLR Brabus drives around London like a piece of prized silverware

Our good friend Marchettino has been called to London whereupon he has filmed this classic Mercedes-McLaren SLR Brabus driving around like a piece of prized silverware.

This Brabus-tuned SLR McLaren comes is a full chrome cover, including the windows and is sporting some foreign license plates which we have yet to identify.

Feel free to let us know in the comments section below if you recognize those tags.

And what do you think of the car? Too much?

An Anglo-German work of subtlety this isn't.

Don't ruin the stereotype moronic westerners enjoy in these car forums. Everyone in the middle east is rich and vulgar remember. It makes us westerners feel superior.

So what if he wants his car covered with foil? You sound jealous man. Take it easy let people live . If you had some of that money god knows what you're going to cover in foil.

The car looks really nice, probably the guy owns three different colors, and those r the basic brabus wheels by the way, they r specially made for this car to handle the high speeds

Never mind the SLR, what about the Koenigsegg Agera that cruised past at 0:52 into the video...worth 3 times as much and a far superior car.

I love this car...I think it looks cooler than most other supercars out there. Especially againts those huge beastly steroid pumped muscles of the Bugatti Veyron...But I have to agree...as ugly as it might look, the Bugatti Veyron simply oozes with power, like the Doomsday Creature who killed Superman. I saw an old episode of TOP Gear in youtube where the Mclaren F1 lost a 1 mile race to the mighty Bugatti Veyron.
