Clean Cup in a Car Park

A

Ads_172

Car  BMW E46 330i Touring
Gave the Cup a clean today and thought that I've not pic-*****d for a while so about time... :)

Went to the nearest multi-story this evening for some cool lighting pics; not the most imaginative but I'm quite happy. Paying £1.40 to get back out again wasn't so great though.

Opinions, comments & criticisms (constructive) welcome; hopefully the wheels will be getting a refurb in a couple months and I may stick some Sportlines on to tidy the front stance up a bit, but standard is the future with this baby. ;)
 
fit.

really really like these pictures! The white light make the car look slightly unreal lol.

love it hun :)
 
Cheers for the comments guys, tis quite strange how location, lighting and camera can make or break a photo of a car! I messed around with the shutter speed quite a bit and like the darker shots where the strip lighting is more obvious.

The pics were taken with an old(ish) Panasonic Lumix FZ7. It's only a point and shoot 6mp or something, but I love the Leica lens!
 
I had braided lines/dot5.1 and sportlines on my cup and it was perfect.

The handling, comfort, feel.....everything was just perfect.
 
Looks absolutely mint mate!! Really like that! I agree with the sportlines but apart from that it's perfect.
 
Top pics and car, makes a strangely nice change to see a standard Cup.

Very impressive pics actually, the light makes it look slightly unreal, but in a good way. Worth the £1.40 imo!
 
Cheers for the comments people, nice to know that I don't need to make radical alterations to the car to get good comments. :) I was all set on changing the colour of the alloys, but over the past few weeks I've been thinking that I'll just be going silver again, maybe with added flake. As said, a new (stealth) exhaust and Sportlines will be coming soon and I imagine that will be it...

The feel of the car is spot on as it is so hopefully the Sportlines will just sort out the stance a bit whilst not losing any of the driving feel. I could go down the coilovers route, but she's not driven that way enough to really justify the expense. May replace the shocks when I change the springs though just to tighten it up a bit.

Cheers chap; yeah I'm really pleased with a few of the shots although I deleted loads! Haven't got a tripod so I borrowed my old man's and am pleased I did.

Yuutttuuppp - I ran out! Thee's a little bit of gloss on the tyres but I'll have to pick up some more before the next clean. Used the dregs of my AG Bumper Care and it actually gives a nice finish.

Yep, you can sleep in the back of a Clio quite comfortably... ;)

:D
 
Lol, you know I dont stand on sentiment... a good ruined thread is the best kind!

Cheers clairemae :)
 
Mint Cup that. As above a refurb would finish it off. Coilies would also look good.
 
Yeah I'm the same guys; when I got the silvervisions for the front and rears they only had 1 set left so picked up a set of the Osrams too. Figured they'd look even stranger on the back so chucked them in the front. Quite liked them originally but they look out of place when everything else is silver and shiny... :)
