Hate to sound like penski but if you lowered that 35-40mm and got some 25mmish PCD spacers it would look awesome

Like that?

 

[Fantom]

Awesome!

Im currently going through thoughts of lowering mine the same amount (306 HDi)

how much does lowering effect insurance?

 

[MrSix]

I'm not sure really, I've not done it so I've never had to find out.

2x Manual controlled strobes - £300ish
2x light stands + adaptors - £50 or so i'd guess
2x Wireless receivers/1x Wireless sender - £100 ? (not sure on this tbh)
1x SLR with manual control - £400 upwards

Great shots MrSix!

Where can you buy this gear? any recommendations?
I have a 350d and would love to try some shots like that out.

thanks

Personally under the bumper where it goes from red to black, i would paint it all red. My sisters bf has a mk4 golf, 3 door red and he painted all the bumper red, looks really nice.

I was going to, but it can go against you when selling the car.
When I sell the car it will have the steelies back on and the tooti-frooti lights back in and be sold as a "standard" Mk4 Golf 1.6 SE.

True, but when you thinking of selling it? If its not for a while just do it,when you do sell it most people will proberly like it anyway

Awesome picture

It's amazing what decent photography can do to a car, I normally dislike the Mk3 Golf.

 

[Barry Smalley]

Ha, ha - Yeah - look at my effort.

:S I think that photo is dreadful....

Of course you do, becuase you are a photography enthusiast whereas I am not - so I don't notice the things you do.

In much the same way that 9/10 people will walk past a freshly washed car and think 'thats nice' whereas you or me would think 'my god.. those swirlmarks are awful'.

Fair one.

How come you beleive that photo looks awesome?
I really really think I'm over critical of my own work now, because I would never send that shot to print because I think it's dreadful, however it clealy isn't perceived that way by your "average" reader.

It might not be the best photo in the world, but come on, it's being overly harsh to call it 'dreadful'

 

[Morba]

that pic makes it look like a toy car :]
