The Middle East seems to love its gold cars. Earlier this week we saw the golden Bugatti Veyron in Kuwait, and now this gold Mercedes SLR McLaren was spotted in Dubai. Where the Bugatti had a somewhat tasteful paint job, this goes to another extreme with a shimmering body wrap and gold wheels.

No matter the opinion, the shop that did this seems to get plenty of work (check out the SLR Roadster and Bugatti Veyron in the background of one of the shots.)
