My first time posting pics on here... I've had the 30D for a few weeks now so time to stop lurking and start posting! So here's some shots of my VR6 that I managed to get in that short time you get between finishing cleaning the car and the rain starting! (sorry if there's loads... I couldn't decide which to leave out :oops:)

C&C welcome please (especially on how to improve the reflections)

Also I like the high contrast saturated look but would be interested on others opinions on the pp as well please

not a fan of the WCC valve stem caps, but other than that that's a gorgeous car you have there....I'm a long-time Dub fanatic and I love a clean MkIII :)

The valve caps are only on for shows as there seems to be a very busy valve cap fairy around here :rolleyes:

It looks good. Watch those reflections in the body.

Thanks for the tips... very useful thread (s) so is the best way to avoid unwanted reflections like that to either angle the car differently or just find a better location?

haha...a couple of years ago when I moved to a new town the valve cap fairy stole some basic chrome valvecaps I had for my lowrider (worth about 2 bucks) within the first week lol...it was an awesome first impression for the city ;)

It seems like, when you gain something in one area with a CP, you lose something in another area.
