You've read through all of this thread? You must be bored stiff by now! :D

Thanks! I can tell from your thread that you agree with my way of thinking, it's the little details that make the car.

I particularly like the black and white one. I liked that picture when I saw it posted originally.

What program did you create these in?

Hi Matt,
I went out and bought some artists pencils, an easel and some canvases.
It took hours to get the lighting right for the sketches.

Or I might have uploaded the photos to a website called pho.to.
It's brilliant, easy to use and, most importantly, free!

I think they look great Andrew and thanks for the app info... :D

Followed your lead and gave it a go, not bad for a first attempt but gives a different look with solid darker colours. Presume you have to pay the small fee and join to remove the logo..

Hi Des,
That's really good! :D
It looks like you're using a different site though, I used pho.to, by the way.
http://pho.to/
Shame about the logo, but you could always photoshop it out of the picture. Then print it off, frame it and create your own Capri gallery like Nick!

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew, just wondering how that new boot trim you've added was fitting. I'm asking question because I've got some slim flexible magnets (4" long by 1/2 " wide) six of them which can be fitted to the rear of trim if you want them, you're welcome to them if they're any good.
All the best,
Rob

Hi Rob,
That's very kind of you, thank you. Those magnets sound just like the thing I need.
I'm still perservering with self-adhesive velcro fastening, but it's no good really, as it keeps becoming unstuck. I'm not too keen on drilling the metalwork, so I'd love to give those magnets a try.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew, they're yours, worth a try, those liners do finish off the boot area a treat. I've sent you a PM.
All the best,
Rob

Hi Andy,
Thanks, although I never take the result for granted. Especially as it only awakened after the winter hibernation a mere one hour before the test. How's that for lack of preperation? :lol: Although I did check it over last weekend.

Busted! I did take a photo this year, but the two were practically identical so I didn't bother uploading it. I didn't think anyone would notice! :D

It seems like the winter has lasted forever, and I'm keen to be getting back behind the wheel. :D

Here's the MOT photo from this year.
