Wheels and paintwork look stunning.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I don't think it was. Just very, very clean. It might look that way due to the post-processing.

Thanks JPC. Yeah, I'm from Sydney, Oz. Happy for you to use that pic. Surprised you saw it. Must have got it from GolfMKV.com? I only threw it up on Flickr today I think. At times, I wish I was in the UK too. For one, I wouldn't have to pay mental shipping prices for the goods you boys sell. We just don't have the marketplace for that down here which is unfortunate.

You're in the right place for your business. I remember quite a bit of drizzle when I lived in the UK!  :smiley:

What filter are you using there mate?

Oh and I didn't use any filters. It's just some post-processing. Cheating, I know, but if I didn't say, you might not have known, which is what I'd hope for. Although I always tend to go that little bit too far. I quite like the almost surreal look, but not heavily pushed HDR type stuff. Unless done really tastefully.

There's not a lot up there at the moment. I'm really only starting out, but it will become more of a thing for me, and hopefully I can fill it up with some nice Golfs. Just lining up a shoot with a CW R32 with an R36 engine with a HPA twin turbo strapped to it. It's currently making 500whp with a single HPA turbo on an R32 motor. Should make something around 663whp with the new bits. Should be fun.  :indifferent:  :jumping:

This is all there is for now...

My Youtube account has a short video me and a mate shot from a GTG from last month. Not great footage as it was a wash out, and I've not filmed anything like that before, but was kinda fun nonetheless. Would rather drive though.

Totally. I love them. Shame it doesn't highlight that great GTI grill, but I still love it... unless it rains.
