Gibbos, Neil82Cup and teady172

If only the sun was behind us it would have made a much better set of pictures. I had to bin the others! Flying Scotsman you need to give me some tips!

 

[KDF]

[RobFenn]

[Scudetto]

Interesting how the silver shows the shape of the front of the car more clearly, it is more defined, thats why i want an iceberg silver not a black 172 !!

 

[RobFenn]

You can see how deep the cup paint is, those extra 3 coats really count.

It would be nice to have a picture of all the 172s lined up in their different colours, has this been done?

 

[teady172]

Adam

Pics dont do the 172/Cup justice at all! Beleive me when I say that the Blue of the Cup when you see it person, or have it looming large in your rear view mirror, is very defined! It looks so aggressive!

 

[adam_priest]

yeah, i have seen one in the flesh and the colour is fantastic i agree, just that i am getting a 172 and have seen a black and silver one together and the silver defines the cars shape better, the pic just shows it really

 

[KDF]

what i really love about the silver is it matches the alloys perfectly.. especially when they have just been cleaned..

 

[The_Gza]

Looks v nice - you might have given me a bell and we could have made it 2 of each

Mind you, Id have to have entered Fife, and thats not something I do lightly

 

[BenR]

Looking good........neil, bet your happy! lol

 

[RobFenn]

Is it me but on the top picture does the Cup just look more up for it, its as if its leaning forward?

 

[RobFenn]

(my obsession is becoming more clear lol)

 

[teady172]

Chris didnt think you be at home, us lay abouts have too much time on our hands!!

Should it not have had less coats to keep the weight down, or is that what helps to stop it

 

[RobFenn]

lol..maybe its lightweight paint as well?

 

[Dash]

Oh yes it is lightweight, I bought a gallon of it and my budgie flew off with it

 

[RSTDL]

I love the colour of my cup - it has a purple flip in it when the sun hits it! sweet! nice photo bTW

 

[RobFenn]

You can see a purple streak on the top picture actually. Lovely jubbly

 

[The_Gza]

Heres another one then http://white-elephant.homeip.net/pics/distil.gif

My Cup, deserted roads, beautiful scenery, and lovely weather = heaven

 

[BenR]

um, its only paint!!!!!

 

[teady172]

So Chris, you were sciving around at home today?

 

[The_Gza]

Nah mate - working today but up North at the weekend and took plenty of pics

 

[Moby]

really nice pics - but I still have a month to wait for mine

 

[paddymph]

lookin good, theres virtually nowhere near me to get some good pics, the locations are sh*te.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Teady, like the photograph, pitty you couldnt move the sun for a bit! Like the location too, was that near Crail/St Andrews direction by any chance? We need to do a repeat of this shoot, but next time I will bring my camera along. Neil

 

[paul172cup]

The only problem i have with my Cup is when you take a pic of it the colour never comes out as it looks in the flesh.

See what i mean (wheels look ace though)

[BenR]

christ!

lots of overexposure the wheels look white! lol

Still looks nice though

 

[teady172]

Neil,

It was taken in Torryburn next to the Forth. I think it will be better in the summer when the sun is high in the sky. I have access to a pretty tasty digital camera, so maybe you can give me some tips!

 

[RobFenn]

I want a Cup

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Paul,

Will do. We need to arrange a day with a few cars in the near future, ideally a day that has hazy sunshine and not to bright. I will bring my camera along too and do a combined shot. I have loads of web space and the domain http://www.clio-sport-172.co.ukwww.clio-sport-172.co.uk so we could possibly set up a site with all the scottish section photographs that could be viewed seperately or linked to on this site.

Neil

 

[RSTDL]

Paul - you need to change those orange indicators in the headlights to silver vision ones?

 

[teady172]

Cupsize,

Thats my brothers Cup, and yes Ive ordered some for him!!
