Well this is the first time in 2 years I've given the car a half decent clean. No point PC'ing it, the paintwork is fucked TBH. Also not to half the people on heres standards, but so what.
Pics aren't the best as no sun to show the shine, so left it in the garage.
So the clean;
Washed...
Mentioning wheel finish ideas is clearly dangerous, as I wanted to try these on the car before deciding to refurb with a custom finish for the ZR, or refurb them a normal silver to sell. Never even got a chance to show you the before state up close.
Well I've had my mind made up for me by my...

It may have had all that money spent on it, but when will people learn it doesn't add excessive amounts of money to the value of the car!
Hi Res photos available here
Bear in Mind I have no flashes, and these were just using the Winter sun lol :o, also most if not all 5 taken in Manual Mode too.
Autofocus on the D40 seems to be getting more and more hit an miss too for some reason.
Comments good and bad welcomed as ever.
Trying to dig up images of the different gunmetal type colours people have used on wheels/bullets/diamonds etc.
Pictures and which shade are appreciated.
Cheers.
Trying to get my hands on a half decent Macro lens for the D40. The Tamron 90mm seems well liked, but I can't really be paying £300+ on a lens. Is there anything around £150 at most?
Did a search but nothing much came up.
I was looking at this site; http://www.homeplugs.co.uk/acatalog/Solwise_HomePlugs.html and basically I'm wondering if the bundle package at the top (FLA85Twin) will suffice for the Xbox?
Cheers guys.
Pick of the bunch from Santa Pod RWYB 18/10/2009. Took about 40 pics, most were blurred lol. Really struggled panning with cold hands, made a rookie error there.
As I went with a mate & his friends from IbizaOC, I got asked by Spitfire Performance (who he is a friend of) for a...
A few clios, a silver & a blue ph2 sport on 17s, a black ph2 sport with project-carz splashed all over the bonnet, and a silver ph1 with orange wheels & highlights.
Also saw plenty of Mk1s, and Beaniemoo's Saxo.
Has anybody got any tips/guides for spraying & blending touch ups? I'm fine spray painting whole panels, but I've never done any touch up work, so I'm looking for some advice before I dive in and make a mess.
Cheers.
Thought I'd share with all of you the story of my ZR. I know a lot of the comments will be "It's a Rover","Headgasket" etc, but oh well.
So it started in February 2008 when I received a £1500 bonus, and decided I should get another car after 5 months without one. At the time it was a toss up...
Saw a blue RS (whichever spec) with some stickers in the rear window near Eggborough/Chapel Haddlesey on the A19. You turned onto a dirt track before the River Aire, around 3.25PM today. 05 plate I think.
Lens I've just bought is...
NIPPON KOGAKU NIKON NIKKOR-H 2/50 n-AI. It's a pre AI f2 50mm prime. Did a bit of digging and it turns out the D40 is able to mount these without being damaged (unlike anything else like the D60,80,90 and so on). It's my first prime and fast lens, was cheap as...
What are people's thoughts on this Flash? It's within my budget, but Really i'd like a flash I can have positioned off camera. I'm not sure if it's possible to do that with this flash? Any other recommendations at around £80 or less.
Going to spend the night on Forza 2 if anybody fancies it. Gamertag: skinz180189.
Would be best if somebody else hosts, my internet is laggy as hell at best.
Went out to try and rekindle my photography. Took a couple of snaps then thought WTF is that. Lovely big scratch on my lens, wonderful.
So pissed off. :mad:
Soph's clio won't start. Fuel Pump is priming. Had the AA out, and he said the coil pack had no output. So we've replaced that, still won't fire up.
He tested the crank sensor and that was giving an output.
Any Ideas?
This has been bugging me for months now, and I don't know why it's the case. So I feel the need to get this off my chest.
I've been into Photography on and off since I got the D40 for my 18th (2 and a half years ago), and back into seriously since I discovered flickr (about October/November...
Seen 2 this afternoon.
A stickered up 197 made to look like a cup racer, livery was 3-in-1 lubricants brand. That was on the A50 at about 4PM.
Then a Racing Blue Phase 2 Sport on Leicester Road (A6) in Loughborough at about 4.20PM, number plate read J4** X or something.
These have all needed a fair bit of PP and are still dark, but at ISO800 they can't really be brightened up without a feck load of noise (and I've reduced a lot of noise!)...
