I finally got round to finishing my car so thought it best to get some proper photos done .

I used GF williams , top guy which many will know on PH and used most of his work is anvolved around super and hyper cars , but he is still happen to photo anything really

http://www.gfwilliams.net/

anyway to the finished pictures , the style of ligthing and editing was choosen to compliment the perfect shiny paint george called it "high key" i also asked to do a couple see through bonnet shots which he dislikes doing but done them anyway for me (its a bit max power for george) .

































on the same day we also took some pics of my other car

Lovely stuff!

LSB was an awesome colour - it always looked great in real-life (difficult to photo). Loved mine while I had it.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys wink


LSB does look that good if the paint if perfect , here is a link to a couple of videos from a few years back , it now has the supercharger kit fiited .

These were recorded with very average cheap camera , i now have proper full HD camera and will record and upload much better quality ones .

In fact when customers come into the workshop they all say it looks better in metal than on photos and videos .

The power output i dont know exact figures yet but will do once i arrange rolling road .

Oh the tvr Audi Ibis white with 2 different grades of glitter in the lacquer top coat to make a bit different .

Looks great when the sun hits the panels .

Nice cars KDS.

Can you give us a run down on the mechanical mods to the M3? You mention it's supercharged, those don't look stock pipes and I'm guessing springs as well from the ride height?

KDS: Ironic eh...I'm about to move onto my next car and it's a short list of an M3 or a TVR 350 or Tuscan speed six. Then I stumble across this forum!!!
I really would appreciate some advice if possible to make the decision easier.
My kids want looks (TVR) I need something I can rely on (M3).

Did the Tuscan models (pre 2004 ish) suffer from engine reliability issues (followers etc). Why have so many low milers had their motors rebuilt???

Appreciated. wayne@wtaylor.co.uk
