also done some wheel colour changes

1st opinion, I quite like the Bronze (gold) wheels, But yet they look shocking on Silver Scoobs.

Why did you obliterate the reg number on the first shot and not the second?

On the same subject why do people bother obliterating reg plates at all? Hundreds or maybe even thousands of people see your plates every day when you are driving why are they any less likely to have nefarious thoughts that people on the Internet who may be tens of thousands of miles away unlike the person around the corner who sees your car every day?

i dont really care about the reg showing it was just a picture that i had kicking about online but ive changed it now so you can be at ease

Looks good.

If it's not too much hastle to explain (or if you have a nice link to a guide? ) how do you change the colour of the wheels while retaining the shine of the colour? Whenever I do it, I end up with a flat dull effect.

Thanks

i used this guide, very simple and easy Wheel colour guide

hope it helps

Cheers mate, nice and clear.

Also found the 'replace colour' under the same menu which lets you do it to several colours at once. Cheers.

i just had to use this photo for some inspiration....not thread hijacking, just sharing........the fabia vRS-Gti

this is gonna sound really odd but it looks like the saloon to me rather than the hatch!

Wish I could figure out how to do photoshopping, cant even lower my car to see what it would look like at the ride height I want!

I am currently on the look out for that grille(or 2x std grilles to make into one of them)

And everytime i see something like this i want to do it more, but can never find the Grilles in the scrappy

Because, in this country at least, car thieves / thieving rings browse motoring forums like these to maybe chance upon a reg of a similar car they have stolen or are about to steal to order so they can then put that reg onto the stolen car. Then police could be following the stolen car but wouldn't pull it as being a stolen car etc..... This method is a lot easier than driving around all day hoping to see a particular model and colour of car in their local area.... Also the idea is that the reg is from a similar car that ISN'T in the same area as the one they are putting the fake reg onto.

And it does happen..... I know of two people who have had their cars cloned by thieves covering the identity of a stolen car in this way.
