I took this around the time of the Griff Growl and have just had it printed as a 'proper' photo. I love it so much I though I'd share it with you.
It now sits on my desk waiting for a frame. Anyone got any ideas for a suitable frame?

You need a simple frame that lets the shape in the image speak for itself - square black...

I preffered the other one!

A wooden frame wouldnt be so good, but old metal would.
How about making a frame frome some old scrap metal or cut from rusty exausts.
Varnish them up for a smooth finish.

BTW: You missed a bit, clean it next time.

Nice looking car, could it be that you have the same color as mine ?? And if so, do you have any idea what it's called ?

Hello Fred.

Difficult to tell from the picture in your profile what colour your car is.
Mine is Sapphire Blue. It varies from a deep blue to a sort of grey to green depending on what sort of light you are in.
I'll get the paint code from the engine bay plate tomorrow if its any help.

If anyone is interested, I had this photo printed onto canvas stretched over a wooden frame at 20"wide x 30"long by Tim at www.fluidimages.co.uk
I got it done to put into the office at home but it came out so good the Mrs says she wants to put it on the wall in the hall.
Very impressed with the quality

How much did that cost you? They have got some good images on there, and yours is a beauty aswell... get him to add it to the gallery

Thanks Dave.

It was £87 all inclusive, although I think that included a discount he was offering before Christmas.
I've emailed your suggestion to Tim at Fluid Images. Thanks for the idea.

The site for canvas printing prices etc. is actually www.fluid-images.co.uk

www.fluidimages.co.uk is the site solely for my pics.

Happy to continue offering a 10% discount to Pistonheads.

Hmmm... I might be interested in a smaller print of the above Griff myself if they are going and I can rake some cash together
