That really looks stunning but how about posting a pic which hasn't been so heavily Photoshop'd so we can still appreciate how great it is but in real life.  :party:  :popcornsoda:

And the same could be said for the bird in your signature you know!  :pomppomp:

Any FWIW, You can't have a 'real life' photo. Doesn't work anything like the human eye(s). With your background RR, you should know that!  :P

So is long exposure photography cheating too?


....No offence or accusation of cheating etc was intended. I just genuinely wondered how well kept and clean your engine bay was pre Photoshop enhancement and manipulation and now I remain in great admiration of your work, both in what you mods you have done and your photography.

Just installed mine again tonight. Had the TWINtake pipes ceramic coated (not that it'll help much, but i'll do the downpipe next week when the car's in the shop for the LSD & mounts). Only cost £40, so thought I'd do it.

Engine cover was dremel'ed down, paint prep'd and painted in matte black. I quite like things looking monochrome & simple. Was considering red, but thought it would be OTT. I like the whole OEM+ kind of look.




this is the nicest engine bay in a v i have ever seen!
