Title: APR Edition 30 from Down Under
Post by: illektronik on November 25, 2009, 12:46:57 pm: Looks like you guys have a great site here. Your For Sale section is on fire, so I thought I'd join up to see if there's anything to be had if people are willing to have me arrange freight. I know dubtek has helped out a mate of mine down here recently. :happy2:

Specs on my ride can be found here:

I lived over in the UK for a year with my ex. I use to work at Brum uni. Got to admit, I miss the english comedic sensibilities. Golfmkv.com is certainly lacking in that dept.

LOL. I'm not sure what it's called really. It's the premium BT kit.

I'm hoping to score a clean set of BBS Monza IIs. Seen a few on here, but some look as though they're beyond repair. Happy to have them relathed and not just chemically stripped, but don't want to be shaving too much off.

Cheers, John

Post by: illektronik on November 25, 2009, 10:34:12 pm: Shot them using a Nikon D90 with an 18-105 VR lens (which it came with). Have since bought a 11-16 Tonika wide angle and a macro, but yet to do a proper shoot with them.

Post processing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Post by: illektronik on November 25, 2009, 10:38:31 pm: Also, if you're on the mod page, you can click the interior and exterior sub heads to see other photos. The exterior shots are old now and we shot on a happy snap digital, but the interior ones are from the D90.

Post by: Aldo on December 08, 2009, 08:43:27 pm: Jesus, I haven't even picked up my Black Edition 30 yet [collecting it this weekend], but this I have to admit is simply THE best GTI I think I've seen.

Good work!
