Default spent 7 hours cleaning today, and my digi cams sh*t!

well i tried anyways to get some arty shots. dimming light outside, found a suitable location, but for the life of me i cant figure out my samsung digi cam to get decent light pics.

anywho, method for cleaning was the following...

washed with two bucket method
polished with autoglym super resin
waxed with poorboys blue paste wax
wheels sealed with autoglym spray
windows cleaned with turtle wax spray
exhaust polished with autosol metal polish
black in a flash on wheels and black trimmings

can see my new sti rears, nur spec-r and sti6 spoiler

car looks loads better apart from my crummy picture taking.

here she is

Looking great Andy. What you should have said is. . . . . . .

The pics don`t do the car justice, looks better in the flesh.

P.S Nice Work

Looking good mate.

f**k yeah but 10 spokes is easier than some wheels on here, notably 22b jobbies

marcus, shurrup

keeping the car as is, but adding sti6 front lip and maybe some 18s in the future. then bigger turbo/remap. then drive for a bit and sell

if your camera allows you to adjust the shutter speed then you want to set it so that it stay open longer to enable more light in your pics

usually around 1/20 1/15 is ok around dusk and able to use hand held, any lower you'd need a very steady hand or tripod mounted.

Very nice. Great work my good friend. I really like your new mods and the STi JDM tails really make a vast improvement over the OEM jobbies. Andy I think a STi 6 black front lip would finish your car of nicely
