Cleaned my 182 - properly (possible heaviness and loads of bluriness) :(

[kris-182]

Took advantage of the nice weather. Had the wheels off cleaned the arches, t-cut, polish and a good vac. Even went as far as back to blacking the arches.

Also borrowed my mums Canon 1100d cooler than me FTL.

Then when it went dark went for a drive to a business park for some pics. I have never used the camera before I havent a clue how to use it, just aim and shoot lol. So I expect a bit of criticism from the camera boffins.

1st attempt at using the camera not gone into to much detail as I don't know what to do but I do no cos I wasn't using the flash I should have took the tripod with me.

It does look a bit foggy.

Your car looks really nice though, I quite like the wheels are they 17's?

 

[.Andy.]

Car looks clean mate, but the wheels let it down for me

16s, always get comments they look bigger than they are, i think its the design of them that gives them the BIG look.

The pics are poorish but my first attempt with an slr, learnt a couple of things for next time already

 

[Hodgins]

Looking good mate, that cup spoiler has really finished it off
HID fog lights?

For night shots you need a tripod really so you can use a longer exposure length. Then shoot in raw so you correct the white balance (very easy in the Canon Digital Photo Pro software) and your good to go

Read the detailing section on here or head over to detailingworld, if you are into keeping your car looking good you will be amazed at the stuff you can do.

t-cut is for OLDer paint, I'd think it would do more harm than good on your motor.

That said it does look very nice - the wheels don't suit it though imo

Ok next time i'll use different stuff, it was used on about 5 2cm light scratches so didnt coat the whole car in it.

Love my marmite wheels haha

 

[Cookson]

You were back home and didnt ring me for a pint? You vajazzle earing wearing FAG!!

Kris, next time you're up, instead of stalking Su, give me a call and come round. You can snowfoam the s**t out of it, and use normal polish and wax instead of that nasty crap

 

[kris-182]

Hahahaha awwww I miss Su I'm back home for good now so next time it needs a wash I'll call round. Hopefully you aint been kicked off Dale Farm by then you pikie c*nt

 

[jamie.91]

Still trying to sort that, need the paint code for the wheels. The OZ centre ones i have are white but got a set of turini centre with the renault diamond on im gonna butcher and fit. Work in progress

 

[Jekyll]

i like it, and dare i say i like the wheels too.....

i think t-cut is to abrasive for the paint as its quite a soft paint. defo get some more daylight pics

Cheers. I bought some Meguiers Scratch X2.0 but been using that on sorting the head lights. Hopefully going for a photoshoot with my mate, he can use a camera and he has a mk2 Jetta with Gti conversion with everything dub. I have got more pics of it in the day but its got some hate with it that gonna be hated

 

[davo172]

T cut Nooo !

But like it mate wheels suit it look good , nice to see something different ,sits well.
You will be sent to hell for not getting turini's thou

 

[Whisker biscuit]

I love the wheels, as said good to see something different.

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Actually really like this, and the wheels. Looks tidy. :approve:

 

[kris-182]

Cheers fellas. I love the wheels from the second I seen them in the for sale section :approve: something different they are a style of turinis i.e multi spoke, but not turinins.

 

[Clio RS 172]

love the color:cheers:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ha.

As mentioned, bin the t-cut.

Car looks tidy, I would have said they were 17s too, but I guess the lowz help. Not sure if I like them or not but it's your car not mine ! Other than that, nice work

Regarding the photos, don't hold the camera above your head like the first shot :rasp: it's not a flattering angle for any car. When shooting at night, you need a tripod for anything over 1/3s unless you're some kind of superhuman shake free expert. Also, check the photography section and find the white balance tutorial :approve:
