Extensive hail damage

[trueman]

Tornado red looks better in real life than in photos. It always turns orange in photos.

I don't mind the TSI red, cause it's not meant to be the Tornado red

Except for the vwa brochure all the TR look orange in photos. However in the "flesh" they look great even with 17" denvers haha

Yeah - but in brochures they have 'special lighting' and photoshop colour correction etc! I mean, just look at the German brochure of the Golf R. The blue looks nothing like the real life rising blue (based on photos from motorshows, lol). Actually, I'd say that some of the shots from the German brochure look more like a painting than a photo!

"real life" in a photo? As opposed to "in the flesh" I suppose.

But how do know which photo is truer unless you've seen the colour in the flesh (aka "real life")?

I like this so much, using it for my desktop wallpaper

Very nice.... wish the tsi came in the same red....

hehe - have you SEEN the Germany Golf R page and brochure?
I've taken this 'photo' from it:



And compare it to this....



Now I understand full well about differences in lighting conditions, colour calibration differences between cameras, print, and monitors etc, but I don't think there is much argument between which is the 'heavily photoshopped' marketing photo and which is the 'real life' photo between those two

[nicandlance]

Both nice

[G-rig]

Yeah. Nothing wrong with the 2nd one!

[trueman]

Im acually hoping they give me one thats on the way here. Then I wont have to worry about that

Maybe you will get one with a DSG ewwwwwwwwww!!!

[nicandlance]

Ha ha! Thanks but no thanks......
They have to replace it with one the same, or to my satisfaction....

(and as for hitting my car with a hammer...
No need for that. The hail did enough damage without my help!)

By the way Trueman, nice car you have lined up...... it will be worth the wait!
