Pics of my mistress...

[arkenphel]

After my 2nd to last night shift, I decided that I needed to do something apart from the sleep-work-sleep-work-sleep-work thing... So I went to the MetroCentre to get my car a bit of TLC while I had breakfast. I got distracted by an Xbox 360 rally game and 1 hour later picked up my mistress without breakfast...oops...:o

It's not easy finding a spot to take pics in Newcastle. There's just too many people around... Eventually I stumbled across a deserted, gated road and put my mean (i.e. laughable) photo skills to the test... I'm no Peppernick, but at least they are in focus...

Teddy's Hamann Fog covers don't really transform the front, more like add a subtle, slightly more individual look, perfect for my tastes...

The mod(s) with the most visual impact are the 19" Volk CE28's (courtesy of Tedster again), which show the Tarox 10's (from CA-Auto) much better than the MV2's. I think the unusual colour complements the silver grey nicely, a bit different fromthe usual black/silver/chromes.

To announce my imminent arrival...

Multistorey carparks and tunnels have never been so much fun! I wish I had this during my trip to the 'ring...

Wave if you see me, m'kay?

Strangely, the mod that get's mentioned the most is this. (?)

My mistress in all her glory... She ain't so shiny, but at least she's clean...

THanks for looking.

Ben


P.S. I'd well be up for a photo meet in the north, if anyone's interested? I'd like to learn how to take proper photos

[XKaLiBaR]

a side picture would of been nice :) all others are cool :)

[m3cslboy]

those rims ......................... look amazing Ju bastiche !!! :D :D

the car looks amazing !

[Chosun Wan]

I love CE28's - had them on my S2000 - One of the lightest wheels out there IIRC?

Not keen on the colour combo, but WTF do you care about my opinion? Opinions are like arseholes, right?

Anyway, as a whole, your ride looks sweet, congrats on her, she's a beaut! :D

[BigFas]

those wheels are SICK! I love how the gold, almost coppery colour works so well against the grey. it shouldn't work, but it does and VERY well.

Great execution of your vision, you've got a very unique car, you should be proud

[adood84]

I love it :cool: , we would of like a bit more whoring though

[SpeedTrap]

Hey Ben - long time no hear! Your mistress is looking really good man. Drop me your number and the next time I am up Newcastle, I will give you a shout to get together. My Mrs if from Durham and we go up quite a bit. How the settling in now? J

[Aaftab]

Looks fantastic mate. Given my covers to the bodyshop to get painted, cant wait to get them back.

[huzi7]

Wheels look SIIICCCKK!!!!!!!! stunning car mate

[Silver]

Love the Rims. Looks Hot!!..

[peppernick]

Nice shoes for Melissa ;) ........ :D

[scorcher]

Loving that last photo, and Fas is spot on - colour combo shouldn't work, but it certainly does - nice!

[RDG 40]

Very weird combo more i look more i like, daring but defo works

[AvusM3Dom]

how much you pay for the rims if you don't mind me asking?

[satty]

siick car mate, im suprised i've never seen it driving around newcastle. Nice pics too, where abouts did u take them?

I'd be up for a mini meet aswel, as ive had my car for a few months now and still havnt posted any pics on the forum yet :o

[AM13REZ]

nice car

very original

should put a light tint on the windows

[SYE]

very nice,,,,,

[arkenphel]

Cheers fellas! I will definitely put up a side view soon. I got the rims off teddy, as another forum member here ordered it for an M3 but the rims were in the wrong offset. It seemed a shame to let them sit in teddy's garage, so I liberated them for an, ahem, appropriate amount of money.;)

I wasn't sure if the colour combo would have worked, but I am glad it did!


Nice shoes for Melissa ........

with a face like that, Nick, she's have to grind me until my pelvis is in bony shards...:P

[Durgesh]

Very Nice mate ! Loving the wheels on your car.

Please don't take offence, but your splitters are not on correctly. They should sit up as high as they go.

Car looking so good.... you should fix it, will only take 10mins, to take them off, and stick up them so they fit right.

I was thinking exactly the same thing from the first pic ...:)

[zarnd]

looking very good indeed ark, looking forward to seeing it at another 'Ring trip!

cheers and enjoy

[g33]

nice. where did u get the number plates from mate?

[SJD]

Very nice car with some great touches.

Do you have any engine bay shots with the s/brace and CAI?

[arkenphel]

Cheers for the words, bros!

I know the splitters aren't right. They have incurred some major faceplants due to speed bumps and me nudging high kerbs, so I will need replacement ones to go on, hopefully OEM clubsport ones or CF replicas. The ones I have on are replicas, but the fitment isn't 100% right. Anyone have CF Clubsport splitters they wanna give free?;) :D

I got the plates over the internet, from www.fancyplates.com (HTH!)

And as per requests, more whoring, now with wholesome sideways shots!

At the riverside somewhere on a deserted road with giant abandoned buildings...

It's been a good day bumming around newcastle, gonna go to bed now. Laters, bros!

Ben

P.S. Engine shots to come when I have it sparkly, SJD. Hopefully soon. Peace out.

[Oz Striker]

Good god those wheels are gorgeous!:) That colour in CSL reps would look sick on my car!:cool: Except i'd be afraid it would attract too much attention from the wrong kind of folk:rolleyes:

[Raj]

Absolutely loving that. The wheels set it off so well..:cool:

[Ash_z]

That looks :cool:
very unique ;) tints would set it off nicely

[Black Sabbath]

Welcome to the exclusive club of Volks owners on E/T,only 3 of us IIRC :D

[adood84]

I really need a front sport bumper :( .....

[arkenphel]

I really need a front sport bumper :( .....

I don't think so 'dood. I think your front would be much more customised with a few add ons like a lip and some highlighting. Go with what you got and make it :cool:
