Well that should put him in his place

I take it 86JR has the same opinion towards people like Bill Gates as well because he has fame and money?

Take it you dont know about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It's easy to not know about Paul Walkers charity work and personality, but he would have to be living under a rock to not know about Bill Gates philanthropy.

If you guys do end up meeting I wouldn't mind joining you, most weekends I'm only down the road from docklands.

The problem with society is people judge based on wealth or income.

The amount of time I have seen people get special treatment even though they are idiots or not nice people because they have a lot of money is stupid. People seem in awe of people with money, even what I like to call inheritance babies.
Just like people are in awe of hollywood actors like Paul Walker, I bet a heart surgeon died this week but no mention of that eh?

No one was in awe of him, he was a respected high profile person who used their fame in a positive way as someone else posted.

More people know who he is, therefore more people 'care' about his passing.

Of course I do, that was the reason I used that example...

Bit of an update, so I got the wheels refurb'd black. I know it won't be to everyone's taste but my car in standard form looks like pretty much everyone elses Bentley in London so I wanted to make it a bit more 'me'. Very happy with the end finish.

Must admit I prefer it beforehand, looks epic in that photo. Bit drug dealer now tbh.

How many tommy guns & dead bodies have you got in the boot?

BigT · 13 Dec 2013 at 06:21

I quite like the gangster look.

What's going on with the plate? Are you allowed to keep it now?

Jester* · 13 Dec 2013 at 07:17

I like both standard and black to be honest.

Freefaller · 13 Dec 2013 at 07:55

I like both too - but seeing as I'll be heading for a darker colour when I do a refurb, I do approve!

I used PW as the example of fame. Ok so not the best example due to the pilanthropy.
What about other actors or "rappers" who cause a big impact when they die but live nothing other than selfish lives?

As for Bill Gates, much respect to him. Ok maybe he did rip off Apple, who knows, but I think the Gates Foundation more than makes up for that... would Apple staff have done as much positive impact to the world? Doubtful, after all they were not paupers in the end.

Gurdas: sorry for this opinion but you have made a classy car look chav now... you have gone from respectable upper class to TOWIE in one modification :/

Rybo89 · 13 Dec 2013 at 08:13

Looks awesome :cool:

Howard · 13 Dec 2013 at 08:56

I'm sorry but that looked really lovely with its silver wheels, and now it just looks tacky, tasteless and chavvy. It's supposed to be a luxury cruiser not a rally car.

Vita · 13 Dec 2013 at 10:01

Sorry to say paa ji, but I'm not keen on the black wheels. You may as well tint the front headlight, taillights, respray the grill, and get rid of every bit of chrome for the ultimate black car.

I would have gone for them flashy polished rims instead, they look great on a car at night, but are hard to maintain.

KiNgPiN83 · 13 Dec 2013 at 10:09

I actually prefer the black wheels too!? Then again my car is bright blue with gold wheels...

Janesy B · 13 Dec 2013 at 10:16

Old Janesy B would say something that would get him a one week ban, new Janesy B says, it's erm.. your car. Enjoy.

Will Gill · 13 Dec 2013 at 10:49

Not for me I'm afraid, but variety is the spice of life and either way it's a lovely marque

mrk · 13 Dec 2013 at 11:00

LS Customs did a whack job on that.

Firestar_3x · 13 Dec 2013 at 11:07

Looks better with Silver wheels imho, but tbh black looks OK too.
