Custom paint galoon

I've always been a fan of the MkII Golf GTI metallic blue, although not sure you'd get away with calling it purple!

Oooh that is nice! I love the Golf too ^_^

[elnevio]

Yes, it only went on the run-out H to K reg GTIs. So quite rare.

[mesobitchy]

careful nev, some might see it as to chavy!

[davcom1]

How about something extra shiny?

[mesobitchy]

The "Rear quarter" is actually the spoiler : the colour mask is excluding it, so it looks like the window.

Give over! It's an extra window, complete with reflection and moulding strip all the way around!

The car is just wrong from the trailing edge of the front wing back. The moulding on the doors stops just as it hits the rear door, the side-skirt is not deep enough, the windscreen strip that runs from the front of the car to the back should be continuous and straight at the point where the windscreen meets the top of the A-pillar but isn't, the rear windscreen has a wiper that is sitting in completely the wrong position, the rear parcel shelf just looks wrong for an 8G Galant, and the rear quarter-panel is just the wrong shape.

I will admit that some of these could be as a result of the masking process. Jase, have you got the original unmolested picture?

The back half of a different car has been grafted to the front end of a facelift 8G, IMO.

Study the picture!

EDIT: The side-repeater is too high up the wing, and the door handles look like a different style as well!

[Turbo_Steve]

Actually, looking at it on my (MUCH better) work screen, you might be right about the rear window.


However, the side-repeater and door handles look fine to me, as does the wiper. I reckon that IS the masking. The longer I look at this on fullscreen, the more certain I am that all that's really wrong is that the boot is missing (I reckon it's been chopped off by accident in the painting process) and it's skewing the perspective on the rest of the car, making it look like an oversized corrolla!

[Turbo_Steve]

NO! I know what it is! It's actually bloomin obvious!


It's a LEGNUM, isn't it!!!????

[foxdie]

Oh you people! !£%!

Here's the rear of the car from where I got the original image:



(Yes, it's hideous..)

Meet the new Pontiabishi Galans-Am!

I'm ashamed to admit I quite like that

[mesobitchy]

The rear of the car is deffo different, but far play to the person who has choped an 8g on to a 7g, I like it.

[Turbo_Steve]

Weeeurgh!

[bradc]

Ohhhh right, I get it now.

BEST LOOKING GALANT EVER

[miller]

[WildCards]
