Mate of mine has the same car, thrown a lot of money at it and it goes well. Not a fan of French cars but these are definitely lovely hot hatches

They are a truly brilliant car, the chassis is amazing, lots of feedback so you know what is happening all the time. They aren't straight line warriors but the way they go round corners more than makes up for it.

You can quite clearly see the Recaro's in one of the pics.

Nice shots of a nice car

If you want some advice on the photography front, some really simple changes will impact the shots loads. Concentrate more on the rule of thirds, and aim for straight horizons etc, otherwise it can look a little haphazard

The other one is white balance under artificial light, you can edit these ones to give more accurate colours easily, especially the 4th, 5th and 6th pictures by using the white balance eye dropper tool in lightroom. You're lucky you have nice grey wheels, so just take the reading off those to make the colours more accurate. Your light painted one looks good, i'm assuming it's something setup to give daylight colours?

Thanks, Im still learning everytime I take a picture and welcome any feedback for improvements.

The first 4 were shot in RAW, so I will have a play using the wheels as the point for adjustment. I read a guide about WB adjustment and thought that the wheels would be too dark as the picker point.

The lightpainted shot isn't too far off how it came out of the camera.

Good photos there mate, also not a big fan of Clios but that is quite smart. Favourite shots are 1,3 and 7.

Yup, I think the crop made a massive difference. The white balance in the first shot is closer to 'real life' but it just looks a lot better in the 2nd edit
