Matte White W203 photoshoot!!!!

lights!! camera!! action!!!.....

well, not really...it's just really low light, a lot of exposure, and hope i didn't expose it too much. I decided to go for the red Carlsson decal front and rear and opt not to put the fender badge back on. I also put my already painted red tow hook on just for the photo ops.

first few I grabbed it from flickr using my phone's camera+ app to edit and then uploaded it back up. I really should get Adobe LightRoom....







and the non-edited....there's also a matte white M3 in there somewhere...











cleaning the car is very easy. all I need to do is spray the car down with water to get the dirt off and then wash it with baby shampoo/mild soap.

please do not quote the pics when you reply btw. makes it easier for everyone to read.

it does, seems to make the car look lower and wider for some odd ball reason.

the car was featured in a (now defunct) bi-monthly mag when I had the BBS REs. photo shoot the entire day with a douche looking model...no more of that! the only good part was hanging out with the model girl and the editor chick was nice looking. lol

Somehow not really feeling the rear bumper of the bodykit, but the front looks great! Without the tow hook, that is.

Frank, it looks awesome. Quit posting pictures and making us jealous. White doesnt seem super matte, but the roof looks SUPER glossy.

strong work
