Pun tastic...

I followed the race transported thread and saw this as a related story!

The headline 'chrome doesn't pay' really tickled me....

Chrome / Crime

Can that really be proper electroplated chrome?? or that lookalike chrome paint, it doesn't look at all like 'proper' chrome.

It's probably a wrap. There are probably a hundred, if not more, cars wrapped like that on the road and they don't seem to have any trouble with insurance!

He is probably trying to insure it as chrome plated not vinyl wrapped
