Recent photographs of the car

MrSix · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:07

I went for a little drive this evening to scout out some locations for possible photoshoots I have coming up.

MrSix · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:07

I'll go back when the car is clean and get a few more.

Those are fantastic photos dude - Good work :cool:

MrSix · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:11

Cheers mate, should be able to make some nicer looking ones when I have more time and a clean car

Those are fantastic photos mate! Are you planning on modding it any further??

Have you been detailing your paint? its real deep red!

Infact I took some of my Golf clean in the Palace the other day..

I would love an R32 in Red or blue, because my car gets dirty too quick

Here is my attempt!

(An no, the last photo was not taken by an ant!)

Makes me want to lower my car now, his sits so perfectly on those rims... mine looks like a 4x4!

The paintwork is in a real bad state at the moment, it looks MUCH deeper when it's been polished and waxed (will do that this week).
I'm not going to mod it any more now, unless I get a good deal on a set of coilovers. It's not worth modding massively as it's only a 1.6 and i'll be getting rid of it in a few years.

They're team dynamic "Something-or-others" - I bought them second for £70 with brand new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. It was a complete steal as they're not marked at all. I really liked the fact that they're only 16", so they're great for handling and also they've got a little bit of dish which looks really nice up close.

Wow, I am trying to grab a bargain set of coilovers too and as you said, no point modding a 1.6 much, I doubt there is much point me doing anything else to mine even though I would like to

So your saying that your car isn't even clean or detailed?!

You really gotta take photos of mine then! Cause I can't take photos... I have "Crack addict Hands" - Cant hold camera still.. :rolleyes:

MrSix · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:32

Nope, it's filthy actually, covered in dust and grit from the rain. Trust me, it looks like a new penny when I've cleaned it

I'll gladly take some photos for you if you're local.

*EDIT*

Look at the last three pics, it's filthy on the lower door!

Im based just outside Oxford, do you go to any of the VW meets or anything like that..?

MrSix · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:48

I do if they're local, but I don't go out of my way to get to them.
If you ever take a trip up to Warwickshire, give me a shout.

Nice numberplate

Tempted to get a private plate myself but there's no point until I've got my new car now

Andybtsn · 8 Aug 2007 at 00:43

Didn't you buy the new TT a while ago or was that someone else?!

I will get slated by Fox for saying this(

), but I like it! It's just a gimmick (its my nick name!) Just gotta fit the re-spaced plates on there - R 800NER

I would very much like the New TT! but at 19 it's not worth it on insurance and I have very little driving experience with fast cars (just a track day in a Lotus Exige so far..)

MrSix - Have you fitted GTI rear lights?

I have indeed...it was the first modification I made - I hate the tuti-fruity standard lights.

Thanks.
You could take photos like that with the right equipment and technical know-how...this shoot took me literally 5 minutes. I used two flashes mounted off camera and a couple of wireless receivers...that simple
