    stunning shots mate :eek: looks very clean. great colour and stance. what camera did you use for those shots? what settings did you use also?

    just a comment....maybe lower your bonnet rubber stops at the front so the bonnet lines up with the guards nicely....

    The paint is the standard Cherry Red Pearl as far as I'm aware... just nice and fresh!

    Brad's Bodyworks out in Derwent Park did the work, talk to Brad and tell him I sent you, he's a good bloke and they do good work.

    Camera is a Canon 50D, different settings for different shots obviously! All manual though shot in RAW, screwed about with in Camera Raw, add some extra vignetting.. Bob's your Uncle. Oh, and a polarizing filter - does wonders for colour.

    What's happened to yours Jono?

    Bonnet stops are down as far as they'll go from memory, but I'll double-check that, cheers.

    Have to agree - great photos of a really nice looking car. Paint job is superb and a great advertisement for Brad's Bodyworks. Really like the vented bonnet, incidentally - should have been done ex factory!

    BigCol That's what she said...

    The car looks fantastic, and the photography is awesome! So you upgraded to the 50d - did you keep the same lenses?

    RedZedMikey RZM should now be DZM

    Agree with all the others, an excellent rebirth.
    The paint doesn't look like a stock colour, but cameras can lie, I'd love to see it in the flesh - or perhaps that should be in the metal :p.

    Assuming that is a UAS bonnet, I have recently taken mine off RZ1 and fitted it to RZ2, and on RZ2 it had alignment issues (more so than yours) at the front, also with the stops right down. I think I have moved the latch down as far as it will go, possibly the crucial latch mounting hole needs to be slotted so that front edge drops a bit. The same bonnet fitted RZ1 almost perfectly, so perhaps the panel shop fiddled in that area.

    Bonnet as fitted to RZ1 at the top, and on RZ2 at the bootom - clearly on RZ2 the leading edge is too high. The passenger fender on RZ2 has turned out to be full of bog, and also has alignment issues, so she's at the shop getting a new fender, and the Stillen front bar is also being repainted and transferred across. Can't wait!!!
