Looks real clean! Maybe could be a little lower?

[bigtallsam]

just the front though??

or am i being stupid

It looks really nice, but get a real camera! I want to see what your car looks like with a better picture. The pic is good for what it is though.

[bigtallsam]

yeah iknow, it was taken on my cam phone! i do have a decent cam but didn't have it with me at the time.

it was pure luck it came out so good on the phone, i love the way it caught the bulge of the bonnet and looks like it only has a single wiper, set against the background of the mountains

if i get chance i'll try and recreate the shot with my cannon

Looks nice! I need a better camera too.

[LunatiC]

Very nice, I like the backdrop as well. Maybe you should have taken a step back before taking that picture, the edges of your car have been cropped off.

Also is that Islandgrun or Oxfordgrun? I reckon you should lower your car too, the gap between tyre and arch at the front is huge!

[filip00]

what's that big hole in the bumper??

[Nick.Hay]

Nice car, nice pic.

What type of camera phone?? Res looks pretty reasonable.

If you do lower, do it all round.. Not just the front!! :)

lol... you mean the fish-eye effect from the tiny lens of a camera phone? Nice photo tho :)

[Dave M]

Pretty critical bunch huh?

Its an all-around beautiful shot. I wouldn't have guessed it came from a camera phone. Where the hell are you anyway?

Nice ride, but I agree, you would love it more lowered ;)

OOooPs, just realized you're in the UK, would'nt know where ya were if ya told me :D

[bigtallsam]

lol!

it's north wales - uk

looks like i'm gonna have to get her lowered then.

1. big hole = CAF
2. camera phone = sony k800i

i'll save up and get her lowered a bit then go back and try and recreate the shot but only after havin bought a proper camera! lol! :D :D :) :)

[ILoveMPower]

islandgrun is it?

those are repro m-pars right? she would look gorgeous with a drop

[bigtallsam]

yes, it's an air intake. then a flexipipe runs up behind the headlight to the air filter/intake

i'm not sure exactly which colour she is how do i find out?

the wheels aren't originals tho they are a good quality copy from my local ricer shop

how low should i go?

would lowering my beasty with just springs ruin the ride??

what kind of a cam do you think this was taken with?

[bigtallsam]

tbh it looks like a decent digi cam

but i'm sure your going to tell me its a phone cam?

s

[Jehu]

nah , it is a konica Minolta 6 mega pixel 12X optical zoom usually retailing around $350.usd i got on ebay used refurbished for $180.00.Just thought i'd put it up so you could see what something like that will get you.. The pic was processed by me in a photo shop program to sharpen and modify the color and lighting then resized.Just for comparative purposes not to show off or brag since i don't really think its all that great of an image. If i was planning on doing anything more than this kind of thing or snapping things i may want to sell I think I'd have to go a good bit above this level of Camera..
Here are a couple from inside and upclose...

As i said i wanted a camera to assist selling some belongings on ebay and such and i was rather suprised at the limitations of a camera of this price range so i guess i'm happy i didn't pay anywhere near full price.Your pic was one of the best phone cam shots i've seen. Is that in Snowdonia?

[bigtallsam]

lol yeah!

snowdonia - on the way down from the mountains to the north west coast

how did u know?
