Not necessarily a great pick but seeing as i haven't taken deliver yet, one of my favorites as the front end paintwork now looks fab and all the silver bits and thick silver stripe have gone. Should be ready soon

That double silver stripe looks to be the correct style for early Wedges but it's been fitted too low down, it should be just below the step in the panels.

Yes! there is a reason for the stripe being lower though and that is why it originally had the thick silver one, it does work though and looks good but long term would aim to have it in the correct place, will no doubt get some feed back at BBWF

Hi Stevo , the thick stripe was on that 390 se from new !! the colour was a nightmare to match too because the paint code was nothing like the colour it was painted from new !! i owned the car for 7 years too !! i remember speaking to the guys in the paint shop at the factory back in the mid nineties over the colour and they admitted it was nothing like the colour code .Cheers Phil

Love the effect here, is this hard to do in photoshop I have know idea how to do stuff like this?

Looks like some smart blur, possibly bleach bypass filter (redpaw media do a good version for free) or just reduced colour saturation on the background. Maybe some gradient tint on the cloud as well. If you've got a decent shot of your car I'll have a go at recreating similar effect for you if you like

Hi

Mr Sheen took my SEAC out for a blast on Sat here's a few pics he took, I can't work out which one is the best, also wish I had a sound track!

Blimey, doesn't it sit high Andy ???


Either that or my suspension is completely kn*ckered !!!! (Quite likely )

[Waynester]

Like them all Andy, but the static shot looks best to me.

She is quite high at the front, have you replaced the suspension since I had it, or just adjusted?

[Waynester]

Just looking at some old pics Andy.. I think this was taken before I replaced the springs & shocks on her. She sat so low at the rear, the exhaust could touch down on hard acceleration.




Really bad picture, but you can see how low here.
