well i decided that i would try and get in on this oh so lively forum (still more posts than on the tex (no flame intended)) i have also just bought a dijicam to mess around with (sony cyber shot 1.3 mega pixels) i must add here that i am very satisfied with this camera. well brace your self cos here they are
:D:D
just a little pic i took before to do a test
i just thought this looked kinda cool
see that, that im parked on, its a solid sheet of ice
i work somewhere behind that
you have no idea how close i was to leaving the polo there after i nearly got stuck
this shot is nearly the same as the last exept car and camera swapped positiones
ok, so, thee they are please feel free to comment on the car, the photographer
or any thing else

Damn, looking real good there...
Things I've noticed:
- You have no rubbingstrips! (Respray.... ouch!)
- Wheels look nice, suit the car well
- No rear wiper - isn't that a pain in the rear?
I wish I had a camera!

true no rub strips awaiting respray
as for the wheels they are OZ tucano`s in 15x7 but i might change before too long to a 15x6.5 cos the rubbing sounds are a little harsh when you go 70mm in front and 60 in the back. the rears only rub when you are loosing the back end though so im not that woried
and uyep i do have a rear wiper i just quickly colour coded it but its flaking
a quick q for you what do you think of the quality of the shots and did the videos work
::EDIT:: if you look on the first pic you can just make out the sweep of the rear wiper

Can we get a close up of of the bonnet/grill - I'd like to see what you've got going on there - it looks good, whatever it is!

yeah no prob its just a mattig grill spoiler that is really badly colourmatched at the mo pics in about 5 min
i think i might blend it before to long of possibly do a metal replica cos the salesman at vw tried to shut my bonnet with the grill spoiler and as it made a spapping niose, i desided that i didnt ever want to hear it again
::EDIT:: pics are here just went and snapped some

About the Mattig badlook, does it comes with a TUV homologation?
My freind is putting one on his golf IV and I think I'll do the same but fixed and completly moulded on the hood...

yep its fully tuv`d iirc but requires prming and painting and also to fit it you have to figur somthing out; for a while i had it trapped in place but when ever you pull the bonnet release it falls on the floor (doh) so there were 2 choises; double sided tape or ( i used this) 2x self tappers but you need to drill the fiberglass and the bonnet to fit theese so make sure you dont push too hard or you will get anti-dents in your bonnet

well if you cant get one then i can get u one in annecy (74) and if the authorities dont like it then velcro it on (castorama sells some strong velcro) and if you wanna see it in person then have a day trip to the haute savoir and see it for your self

Shouldn't have problem to get it...just have to call my club's tuning shop partner....they got me the lumma kit...
they recently installed the mattig badlook on a Golf IV and this weeks their doing it again, and now it's for a member of the club
