Amazing. How in the world can you possibly know what about a car interests me?
Based on 99% of what you post, I'm going to guess at "arguing" or "contrary opinions".
Contrary opinions I'll agree on but very rarely would I argue for the sake of it

I guess my taste in cars is very much a minority on here

Not sure why I always get accused of being a stanced yo fan boy though

Nice! One of the best looking porsches I've ever seen,
had something to do with it in this situation.

The "Scene" part of your username may also be misleading - although for all I know, it may be nothing to do with cars and it refers to you having dyed black hair with a floppy fringe, stupidly-skintight jeans with a white studded leather belt and a Bring Me The Horizon t-shirt.

I did used to have that exact look yes, the scene part of my name is from about 8 years ago and just stuck as my online name for all forums I'm on

I wish 'scene' didn't have the association with stance that it does now as everyone assumes I'm into slammed golfs and the like

Some of you guys are such a bunch of drama queens that get far far too worked up if some lowered suspension and a wrap which has started to peel a bit at the edges causes such a reaction.

Personally the colour, wheel combination and subtle mirror change inspired by a Beetle design looks fine to me (awaits the "you're on the wrong forum" bks to start....)

Hating a vehicle on height adjustable suspension for being 'too low' is akin to throwing away your dinner because it's too hot.
but.. but they're all broken

Nicely done......
I seem to have posted those pics on my other username I forgot I had.....

Anyway I will post these final pictures from another angle. It doesn't get any better from the rear.






Must be a few kg's of filler right there!

It was probably low light/low ISO for the required aperture; not really any reason for a ND filter - a polarising filter possibly but it doesn't look like one was used (although it depends on its alignment).
The light levels don't look that low, and it was taken during the day. There's only so much you can do with a low ISO and relatively high (small) aperture. Also, excessively high apertures can reduce sharpness due to diffraction. In this particular photo, you can see some blurring from DoF in front and behind the car which means a high aperture was not used. It's actually very common to use an ND filter for photography at car shows with a long exposure time.

The mirrors are the worst bit for me. What is the obsession with fitting mirrors worse than standard when modifying a car? If you wasting that much money changing the bodywork, then why not have mirrors that work so you're less likely to crash & loose you 'investment'.

I don't mind the wheels on the TT (though I'd rather them with tyres that fit) and it's not really that low, but that wrap is tragically poor.

It's actually very common to use an ND filter for photography at car shows with a long exposure time.
They don't look that low because it's been exposed according to the meter. The (tiny) scrap of sky is grey, shadows are pretty much non-existent meaning a diffuse light source, meaning cloudy sky. The blurring is only on 'moving' objects (people, plants, boot lids) due to the long exposure, not bokeh, and diffraction is only really a problem at f/32 or smaller (obviously depending on glass quality, zoom/prime, etc.). The fact it's a 800x600 (or whatever) JPG means it's not going to be easily detectable anyway.

Approximate exposure of an object in direct sunlight at f/16 is 1/ISO, and that is definitely not direct sunlight.

If an ND filter was used, it's a pointless endeavour with animated objects in the shot; they'd get better results with a circular polariser and then at least it would remove the skylight reflections from the car bodywork. A graduated ND is great for landscapes or other wildly varying stops of light, a flat ND even when you've really got to get a dreamy long exposure waterfall, but for a static shot? Whack the shutter speed up.

Not posted in this thread before but can't think of anywhere better suited for this horror.
