This raises "bling" to a whole new level: an armor-plated, gold-trimmed Rolls Royce Phantom.
The eye-catching vehicle was made by special request for an anonymous Middle Eastern businessman. The unique features of the Phantom include 120kg of 18-carat gold interior and exterior trim.

The entire process of adding the gold and armor reinforcement took about 18 months, according to Stuart Hughes, which now features the Phantom on its Web site.
Liverpool-Based Stuart Hughes collaborated with Swiss company Eurocash AG to create the lavish vehicle, the company states. Eurocash AG offers the Phantom for rent, but for not sale.
Stuart Hughes doesn't list a selling price for the Phantom, but the car is valued at $8.1 million.
