    That colour really can look darker depending on the day light for example these on my car are the same colour you posted but they look much darker in reality.

    How one can master photoshop is beyond me. The biggest load of shyte I have ever tried to learn. So difficult to get anything to work for me. All the tabs are that same monotonous grey so it's hard to find what you want. No picture ever works out right for me!

    I'm not at all surprised! That's why we need to hurry up and get the anpr installed on all the patrol cars and get rid it get sheets of paper cluttering up my windscreen!
    For every one guy who laughs it off like you, there are 10 people wondering how much they can make selling them!

    True that.

    In my case it was a guy with a motorbike that was introduced to me. He brought his friend's restriction certificate and wanted me to change the details on the certificate to say that his motorbike is restricted to a certain power output.

    I told him where to go :p

    You poor poor soul. An hour of it and I'm fit to break the computer!!

    I don't use photoshop but use various plant design / engineering / drawing software in college we spend a lot of time using them so when we graduate we can use the software obviously we are taught how to do the calculations manually first as you need to know what answer you should be getting and all that. But there is one piece of software that is particularly bad you have to make accurate assumptions all the time or it will either crash or give you a rubbish answer. We had one assignment on designing a distillation column a girl in the class asked me to help her she had 430 errors / warning :eek:

    I would like to eventually learn how to use photoshop as it is useful it's fairly far down the long to do list at the moment though :(

    It's his car, he went to alot of trouble to get them even after the first time around they were stolen on way from Japan.

    I've met Chris afew times and he loves his car which is something i can relate to, his chaser looks great in person. Pictures don't do it justice to be fair.

    Would love to see it irl anyway because I love jdm cars ;) but I agree that sometimes pictures don't make things better.

    But the story behind it is of course something that counts more

    I'd be good in Solidworks, AutoCAD, sketchup, I'd be soso on InDesign, illustrator and Photoshop. Don't use them often apart from Solidworks. I'm fairly nifty with the Microsoft programmes, and touch typing. Did a course a few years back in them - well worth it, makes things so easy if they're second nature to you.

    I always think solid works was the nicest of the 3D programmes as in easiest to use and still quiet effective used it in LC DCG m. I used AutoCAD in college for some assignment and didn't like it at all. I won't be really doing any 3D drawings in work I will leave that to the civil boys :) as for Microsoft office and all I think everyone is so used to it at this stage very useful.

    I did a completely over the top excel fuel tracker one day out of boredom its kind of like fuelly but takes things alot further I have it calculating average spent on each top up, average distance traveled each week, and then there is a total column, mpg, average cost, average litres per fill the list goes on I think there is even an if statement in it somewhere :pac: I was very board that day though you can't beat excel for so many different things.

    By the sounds of it your a tech graphics teacher.

    Ah here, your changing it around now. Your first comment was stating that the lip looked good if it was OEM, but not if it was aftermarket. By all means you're entitled to your opinion. But your comment made no sense.

    Anyway, I don't think they are that bad. However my view on Chris's car doesn't mean jack sh1t. If he likes it that's all that matters.. :)

    I'd be handy on all those, and have a fetac specifically in CAD then done my degree using Revit. What do you do?

    Did you start reading that top gear book you got for Christmas I'd be interested to hear what it's like as I meant to get it but haven't yet. I have two books to read yet anyway. But its next on the list then.

    I used SolidWorks for DCG too. It's really nice and easy to use. I always loved building stuff in it and then making renders :pac:

    Here, so for a (paid) retest on a car do they go through the whole test or just the bit it failed on?

    Sunny is back up this weds on emissions and I honestly don't remember what they do..

    Depends if it's a visual retest or not

    Visual is just what you failed on and you can turn up whenever
