[brackie]

That's pretty close to the colour I intend painting my Mk1.

Very nice camera/photoshop work there!

Very nice indeed... also the dub looks nice too :D

[joshyd-mk2gti]

nice pics, what camera and lense you using? love the colour of your car too. is that a colour concept thingo?

[syncro]

Nic pics! Good work. (Don't you hate when people say that you must have a good camera:mad: )

Why would the lights be illegal?

[DubSteve]

Nice car there good love the vr6 :)

[rayray086]

Great pictures! Now you gotta design yourself a sig :)

[Bora Sport]

Very nice. Brings back memories. I had one just like that. First time I saw it in the flesh I was very dissapointed but I grew to love the colour.

[ontarv]

very nice
great pics as well
must try some of those night shots with no flash
when the mk1 runs again!! (soon)
dam I love those vr6's drive past a black one every day
on the way home

Cheers for all the positive comments :) :)

What camera I use isn't that important, since its only a lightproof box with a big chunk of glass on the front. But if you must know its a Canon 20D with a 17-35 2.8L lens.

Yeah its a colour concept. The green looks nice in the flesh, much nicer then any picture could do, I think.

I made the comment about the tail lights since the cops have had a go at me for them and I've heard a few stories from over east on the same thing. Meh.

I wouldnt say that the camera doesnt matter. You do need a nice camera to get nice true blacks like that in low light. But more importantly u need to know how to use it

[MattyT]

Well a good camera will result in better image quality, yes. But thats purely colours.

Theres still composition, exposure and post processing which all need a brain to be done well :)

What did the cops say that was wrong with them?:???:

odd body colour but nice looking automobile
where did you find an empty shopping centre car park?

[MattyT]

syncro - that they were too dark! :rolleyes:

acdcfan - karrinyup shopping centre on a Tuesday night, not a soul around!

Hey matty Nice car.

Is it the Green colour concept (if yes) can you take some inside pics, Becuase is wouldn't it then be Green inside, That would be interesting in what it looks like..

Cheers Simon.

Nice looking car.

How come it doesnt have fog lights, and shouldnt it have clear front indicators as well?

[syncro]

Colour concepts had different options in different countries.
They were VR6s in Australia but in Britain they were 2 litre GTIs.

[srbsta]

wow cool looking VW and those pics are awesome :D

[VWGTi]

That's a great looking car! Definitely stands out with that colour

And wouldn't downplay your camera - coz that's one awesome camera and lens!

[MattyT]

It's not a bad peice of kit :D

Thanks for more good karma on the shots. Will definitely take more in the near future.

No pics of the interior though! The leather is quite shabby and probably needs a reskin. Especially the gear stick + handbrake cover.
