Title: Photos of my GTI
Post by: VmW on 12 March 2010, 14:07
It has been either raining, foggy or overcast the past 2 weeks. I finally had a chance to take photos with (more than) enough sunlight.

Photos from today..

Wow, the LED lights are perfect, they really set the car off :cool: Don't know where you are, but from the look of the weather and the backdrops, you are not located in Swindon...

Oh yes, and congratulations on the use of a long lens + polarizer (other members, take note):smiley:

Thanks, FroGTI.. Are your LEDs the darker R ones?  Saw your pictures of your LEDs on another thread and they looked great on carbon grey..

I think they are factory optional over in Dubai iirc from my last work visit there.

Kev, the LEDs came standard on my car which was quite nicely specced.  I think they sell two trim levels here. The "base" GTI do not come with LEDs..

Yes, I am in Dubai..

Great Car and great photo's. I like the colour and the Xenons and wish i had the Sun also (I live in Hull England !)

Hope you enjoy it and with weather like that you probably won't have to wash it every 5 minutes unless you use it as a dune buggy :grin:

Unfortunately,  dark colours are not really advisable here.. gets covered in dust easily.. :sad:  just imagine sand plus foggy mornings.. :sad:

The only colours (from a choice of 9) that look relatively clean over a longer time period are Tornado Red, Reflex Silver and Steel Grey.
Dark colours look especially classy at night.

it was only a light hearted comment.  ppl take things too seriously man!  maybe they should vent there anger on the road when they overtake them chavs in there motors.  in failing that they ought to masturbate their ego's at the thought of those mark5 owners looking enviously at your mark 6.
