Default Aluminium finish R8??

I saw a R8 yesterday that seemed to have no paint! It seemed like just really shiney bare metal, ie aluminium. Is this an available finish or a custom job?

Just curious as I've never seen this finish before on a car

I saw an SLK that had that look too. It was parked next to Bentley Continental GT that was matt black.

You weren't in Liverpool were you? Saw one of these parked up whilst out on the town down there last weekend.
