Beautiful work! The lighting is a bit sparse but what I can see looks fantastic!!! :sunglasse

you're right. Apologise for not having acceptable equipments and below average picture taking skills for taking these pictures. just simple DC and table lamps.

I did worry that if good quality pictures would even amplify the flaws in the kit.

anyway, thanks for your comment.

Excellent work, the shine to the paint is beautiful and the cf hood looks equally impressive.

Yeah the cf hood gives it a nice touch what are the wheels?

The S204 will deserve a better photo if u took an outdoor pics, trust me,

Good job anyway :)

excellent work.. nice and smooth paint

Thanks for all you suggestions.
I truly believe in the magic outdoor pictures. Finally, the weather is getting better here and some outdoor pictures were finally taken. Pardon my below AF-average photographic skills and hope to get better by practice more. :wink:

By the way, the ordered Fujimi BBS rims finally arrived:

Looking forward to taking more outdoor pics with the new rims on when the weather is getting better .

The outdoor pic looks much better, but do post more than 1 pics when you relace the BBS wheel :lol:

Great shine, the cf looks a little wierd to me. Although it came out flawless. We only see one pic in the sun.

I did post a few but only one shows :frown:. Not sure what happened to direct accessing the photos at my blog. Anyway, I've worked around by posting a smaller one and linked to larger pix.

btw, MidMazar, may I know what could be the reason of weirdness of the CF, say colour, texture or anything? I didn't smoke the CF but just cleared it.

Ed

really great job, you are a master!!!

Nice and unique! I always wanted to make a S203 edition but never got around it.. maybe an insipration for you?
