New GolfIV TDI pics

[SuperTDI]

Well, it`s not the first time I show you my car and I imagine you don`t consider it too much, but I belive I`ve been able to better capture the reality. It`s the photographers` quest and also the crazy owner`s one. :)

This one isn`t original, but here it is after a while from the previous:

I`ve drove around and managed these photos (it has no special effect other than plate hiding):

This is already one of my favorites. What do you think?

Incredible shine! When properly detailed, nothing looks better than a black car. By the way, what year is your Golf?

Very nice, clean golf. The interior is immaculate & very sharp!

It is fun to love your car, isn`t it? :)

Nice - I like driving the Golf and it`s variants. Nice ride and handling. Never driven the TDI but the 1.8 turbo is quite peppy.

You`re looks great. How`d you prep it?

I really like the composition of this shot. I wanted to see what it looked like lighter so I lightened it with Photoshop a little. Y used the variations function and adjusteedon the shadows and midtones so as not to blow out the highlight detail on the gravel. What do you think?

Thank you! Late 2003 - one of the last ones. :)

It has now about 46k kms (sorry, don`t know in miles).

I haven`t driven any gas one. I can tell you it has at least 130hp and a torque of 310Nm... it`s great!

Iis prep was wash and clay, polishing with 1Z polishes (the three ones with each orbital pad: cut, polish and finish), sealing with grojet2000, 2x natty`s, 2x #16. A month or so latter it received a great Souverän coating. Again, another month and it received the second coating (refill, basicly).

And I`m on my way to improve it! eheh When I`m done, I`ll keep you posted. :D

You are correct on the enhancing: great! Thanks. The photos were taken with convencional film. The kind I used it`s a bit dense and my good film scanner isn`t powerfull enough. If you could see the positives under a lens, you would love it!

I`ve taken another one with lights on and changed it to b&w. It`s less compressed. I believe you will like it. :)
