Foggy day in Deutschland

[residentevol]

Took a few pics most of them are in my build thread but I figured I'd post them here for those that dont wander in there...I am going to tweak a few things to see if I can get him to sit a bit lower but I love how it looks...Hope you do too Car is 2009 GTI wheels are Work Equip M1's 18x9 et38 and 18x10 et32 and the suspension is the Airlift manual setup.

enjoy

please give criticism on photos if you can Im trying to finally learn my D60..This is all with my kit lens and tripod nothing fancy and no post processing..I shot in RAW so if you have any ideas on what to do to make them snap a bit more than by all means rip into me.

Anyway here are the pics :beer:

dont say it..the notch will make this thing so much cleaner...Its coming just gotta save up a bit (spending way to much lately!)





The grill smiley is just primer..yeah you read it right primer...I was going to paint it grey but the primer looked so good I left it







I really need a level on my tripod I realize how crooked some of these are...the ground was not very flat either in my defense...



Da butte







Thanks DrFraserCrane for the vinyl stickers these things came out perfect..the matte black version looks wayyyy better IMO.



This one got really washed out but I was exhausted and couldnt go on anymore...but you can see the residue from where the fender had some tire for lunch..Omnomnom




Alright so there she is as of now...I have a lot of work to do to make it all the way I want it..Im thinking -2 camber in the rears to make it sit a bit lower..Perhaps a tinnnnny pull but nothing major and the fronts just need to be rolled and maybe a tad of fender liner cutting.

car looks SICK!

[Niterider03]

That looks so good.

[residentevol]

haha artichoke...I mean its better than what most people think it is...A marijuana nugget But its all good I like the way it looks regardless of what people think it might be and it means something to me and thats really what the car was built for... myself

Thanks for the kind words I will be sure to post up any updates as the car progresses.

The Dutch are coming... the dutch are coming!

[CSBolger]

Oh wow. That's very, very impressive.

And here are a few that I put through lightroom basically I just bumped up the clarity and saturation didn't touch much else. I thought this kind of took away from the foggy eerie -ness of the original shots but Im not sure the colors really popped when I bumped it up.

[e36rjbmw]

love it.

Fuck, wheel fitment and ride height are just perfect. Doesn't need to be lower, IMO.

[residentevol]

Thanks guys..Well if the fenders get rolled (which they need to badly) than the front will come down just a tad bit more...its not going to tuck wheel it will just sit right at the wheel. And the rears I want to get cambered in just a tad so its not sitting right on the tire like that...I want it either flush with the fender or just in between the tire and wheel. I'll try it out with the camber and if it doesnt work out than I will put it back.

Thanks for looking...I've got some pretty sick ideas for the hatch setup but It may take a while for me to get it finished up so keep your eyes open..
