Apartment fails to allot us a parking lot

Apologies if this isn't the right subreddit or flair for this

Me and a friend moved into a 2BHK in Al Barsha 1 back in 2023, and are currently on our 4th renewal. At the time, we weren't really concerned about getting a parking lot, but two years down the line, I got myself a motorbike and needed somewhere to park it, and was hence asked to park it in a largely untouched lot on the ground floor which is too tight for cars.

Problem is, I got another motorbike, and plan to keep both of them. I would have accepted this lot, but our apartment building actually has a little shortcut that connects the main road to the rear side, meaning a lot of people who don't stay in the apartment pass by said lot and have very easy access to the bikes, and I have had multiple instances where my older bike has been messed with.

I've been trying to get a proper basement lot allotted, but the agency keeps telling me my alloted slot is on the ground floor, which I refuse to accept and refuse to believe (mainly because the guy I'm dealing with is largely lazy) because of the aforementioned issues. I've been on them for the past few weeks but no dice. What's a good way to navigate this situation?

So I recently came across this iridescent material, I'm unsure if all iridescent material behave like pic attached, but I shone my phone's flashlight on it and found some interesting behaviour.

The little blob of light without refractions is that actual reflection of the flashlight

My initial approach was to create multiple shaders which had their normals skewed to mimic the grid like behaviour scene here, and then go on to add them, but each of these would require to be split into three different shaders for red, green and blue, each of which would have smaller offsets to mess with the normals and add them together, but this seems like a rather inefficient method.

I tried to look up a few tutorials on youtube, and I've never felt that any of them really feel particularly iridescent like, anybody have any ideas on how to tackle this?
