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:

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.

Im loving the black GTi shots - that mirror look is why i love black cars and why i have owned 6 of them!

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

Here's a slightly better one from those shots. I set the camera to continually take shots as they drove by. This one's lined up a bit better.

Great shots!!


Looks very GTI(ish) front end which I like, never been overly keen on the R32 front end.

Very nice,
Don't actually see that many R32s in the gunmetal grey.
What have you done to it, and what are your plans?
Title: Re: Recent shoot of an UG R32
Post by: Rich on March 18, 2010, 04:05:35 pm
Mate is think this is the best looking R32 i've seen  :surprised:

I think Steel Grey is perhaps the best colour for VW & Porsches...

You have the stance perfect as well ! :love:

Just been talking about the Capristo zorst to somebody on here with more money than sense. Are you saying that the GTI has one fitted or the R 32.  :happy2:
Title: Re: Recent shoot of an UG R32
Post by: illektronik on March 18, 2010, 11:08:06 pm
Yes. They're stupidly expensive. His R32 has the Capristo. They don't make one for the GTI, although were apparently considering it.

I'm happy with my exhaust sound from the exterior. Booms a bit inside though, and cancels some of my sub notes. I'm looking to do an electronic butterfly valve to help when just cruising around. But I'm not dropping large amounts of cash into it. Just enough to do the job right.

Yeh, you have confirmed what i thought, that they dont do one for the GTI.

Also i wouldn't be happy with a boomy sound inside the cabin considering the price of them Beauty's

It's the one on my GTI that is boomy (at 3K), not the Capristo.

The Capristo sounded fine when I was a passenger, but we were just rolling around this complex lining the car up for shooting. It sounds amazing from the outside though. But is that sound worth that kind of coin?!? I've said if you do something like the Capristo, I'd hope you're planning to supercharge or (twin)turbo it.
