Well, I noticed that the latest trend was to photochop the R32, and bacause I drive a red Golf, I figured I would give this a try.

Work done:
- 2 tone paint
- Smoked Headlights
- Carbon Fiber Hood
- SSR GT3 rims (Rear wheel is fooked, I know)
- Front Lip (95% brushed, I c/p the splitter, and did the reflections myself!)

Please Note: Yes, I know there are some problems with the lip, I noticed them after I uploaded the pics, and I will fix it in the morning.

art bro true art!

Okay, while dozing off from tiredness, I fixed the lip and added more reflections to it, and I still am not really happy with it :)

Very clean very nice excelent chop yanks tho rims look jus a lil funny.

^^ probably because there should be a bit more rubber on the far edge of them. really good chop, i like the bumper a lot. does carbon fiber produce reflections though?

does carbon fiber produce reflections though?

Yes, carbon fiber does produce reflections.

I'm pretty sure a carbon fiber hood makes reflection in color :p

I fixed the lip so the perspective is correct, and I also reverted back to the stock OZ Aristo wheels because I personally think they fit extremely well. I also removed a little of the color in the hood.

The inital chop was amazing, the only thing i saw wrong with it was the rims, and a small line of blue below the grill to the right of the symbol.

I dont really know why you changed the hood, the CF was amazing, actually i wanted to even ask how you pulled it off that well...

The lip was better in the first chop than the one where you "fixed it", i mean the center part when you fixed it added blue tent to it which, just doesnt look right for that spot, maybe a slightly black shadow would of made it alittle better from the inital chop but...

overall, props dude, before i looked at the origonal i thought the inital car was silver :P, thats what i get for not looking at the orig first, but i aslo thought you added the stickers, that would of been one hell of a job :P makes me want to try it to be honest.

Okay, okay


I changed the CF hood back to my original, and I fixed the blue tint on the lip.

I personally think that looks pretty damn good, not much else to change on the car :)

Yeah your right, NOW its perfect ;). ( but really how did you do the CF?..., its like the perfect tightness and swirl )

I actually got the pattern from someone here about 2 years ago. My process is somewhat difficult...takes a little bit of creativity, and alot of blurring :)

I'm sure the texture is right in front of your nose :p

Thats one excelent chop! looks alot better with the stock rims.

That looks really good!
I like the hood the most.

I know alot of people like my carbon fiber, but I decided to try a new pattern I recently got a hold of.

Personally I think it looks better, but look for yourself:

looks alright... kinda bright to say the least...

its ok... ur CF on the other cars was better than this car... that mesh looks better on that car... plz post ur meshes...

So what your saying is the new CF looks decent, but needs some work.

And the original CF and on my other chops is actually a gradient pattern I made from an old tutorial. It involves not only using the pattern, but also brushing, blurring and smudging.

The new carbon fiber on the R32 is from this picture:
