Hey mate, plans for the car have sounded really good throughout the thread, you've just gotta get cracking.
I've got a ph1 myself and have recently done a bit of a write up for the car so far, I've still got a lot of plans but all in good time - feel free to have a look for some ideas...
Mate they are all tiny photos I'm afraid. Not sure where you've gone wrong tbh mate. You either took the photos at a really tiny size, or did something when moving them to computer or did something when uploading.
I have/had a viewty, unless you took the pics on the cameras smallest size then you have squashed them some where along the way. On your pc what are the images resolutions? It should say in grey under the picture name (depending upon what view you are in)
Upload speed is only REALLY worth it if you are a mega photo uploader or part of a private torrent site where you must upload? If not a waste of money imo.
I've found the upload to be fine on the lower package.
Well I could change the size, but it would just make the quality even worse.
Surely these cannot be the originals of the pictures? Unless they were taken with a 0.3mp camera??
If you still have the originals then feel free to email me one and I'll do it and upload it properly. lol
Are the wheels mullered? Or just the pictures?
Tyres are very small and look pretty funny, will look v nice with new rubber though.
Thought about going anthractie with them? Think it could look very nice!
I thought if it went 50 50 you basically paid for your owns cars? And seeing as you are fully comp that would have to come out of your pocket.
Not sure if I'm right though.
Re: South East Multi Location Photo Shoot 28th October
Only just seen this. I'm in. (another non-sport though I'm afraid)
By then however, wheels will be refurbed and car will be lowered! (so a pretty-ish non-sport)

Looks like a really nice motor mate, like the sound of the mods you've got planned, and seeing as you've already got a few bits it makes sense to add another few things to it and get it looking tip top.
Friend of mine has the alert sound from metal gear solid, really nice, short, and easy to hear.
I've had "simples mwajfkljsdf" << the compare the meerkat thing, recently.
There is only one fog light that is supposed to work chaps, you can run a wire under the boot trim to make both work if you're fussy, but lets face it, how often do you use your rear fogs anyways?
Paintwork on this looks brilliant mate. Wish my mk2 ph1 had your paintwork! I'd be a very very happy man.
Ph2 rear lights, dynamic spoiler, all things you can do without informing insurance really. Shame you can't put alloys on though.
Thought of having a go yourself first? I'm currently in the process of doing my 172 wheels. Save yourself a lot of money if they come out well. And with you doing the prep work you get to make sure they're done to a standard you are happy with.
To answer your question, yes 150 is pretty cheap.
Make sure you take mugglesquop's advice though mate.
Write down everything you can remember about it.
Time
Weather
etc
etc
Don't just print out that link mate, or if you do, draw on it with a marker to make it clear where exactly it happened etc.
Sounds like he was in the wrong mate, wrong...
Cheers, I do flat the primer before colouring, but when I've used metalic paint in the past, flatting the paint before lacquer has resulted in the paint losing its metalic look.
Bit scared to flat it if I do use a metalic colour. (still undecided what colour I'm using)
Cheers for the advice...
