This guy decided his DMC-12 needed a fresh new look. Here is how his hard work turned out...

Lot of effort went into that.
The Delorean is still one very cool car! |

There's nothing dangerous or illegal at all about driving a very clean or shiny car.
The reflection in people's faces behind me, which I can see in my mirror, when the angle of my normal chrome coupe rear bumper causes a beam of light so intense the refraction in my mirror gets my attention - is no less annoying or 'potentially dangerous' than a pollished or chrome plated car. I have a feeling I've seen this car on the AlsaCorp website in their gallery of chrome paint products and chrome-painted cars, but it may well simply be pollished alloy. Either way - the distracting/annoying/dangerous aspect is one tiny angle for a split second which any chrome bumpered cars can provide anyway. So its not illegal here, its not here anyway, and it looks awesome - for him.

I personally find the crystals and jewel type rubbish people have hanging from their rearview mirror is more annoying when you're following them and it focuses a beam of light straight into your eyes.
This is a work of art, I love it!

That guy has way too much time on his hands. He needs a hobby.

Ever wonder why windscreen trim and wipers stopped being chrome plated...
ADR 12 - Glare Reduction in Field of View The function of this Australian Design Rule is to minimise the glare from certain surfaces in the view of the driver. I reckon it would be illegal in this country.
