i know its only a tiny picture and i expect people get chops printed all the time but its a really great feeling to see one of your chops on paper in your favourit magazine (Performance VW Feb. 2010), onto the car, simple euro styling, did a U.S spec bumper because i couldnt be bothered to smooth it lol, mix of c+p and brush. My favourit part is the bra, i brushed it 100% from scratch and i think it came out really well but by no means is this my best chop, its full of mistakes which, if i get time i might redo the car to a much better standard. (also i took the modified car logo off when i sent it to the mag, i didnt wanna upset any copyrighters) lol

Thanks for looking guys, any tips on making bras look more real?? i love bonnet bras and would like to do more on my chops but the always look a bit too fake.

Looks nice dude, only thing i can complain about is the shade under the car. It should be a lot darker under the car. It'll take you two minutes mate.

x2 With X-Raited. Really Awesome, Apart from Shadow

As X-Raited said , the tires look a lot darker then the shadow of the car , that doesn't look right to me . The rest is very good , keep chopping

the biggest thing you need to work on is the fact you need to make sure all the parts car / bg / wheels / everything needs to match lighting wise
either its all darker (better imo) or its all very bright
the car is also kinda floating in the bg , the car is not level with the bg ..
now i have to say you look a lousy pic to start out with its so bright and not real hr ..
i think if you first would have givven the ori a bit more darkness and a tad of contrast it would have been way better already

i think you got the styling right and with only minimal change like adjusing the brightness difference it could look way better

not real bad though , keep it up

Car is tilting to the left.but other than that nice chop.

thanks guys, its tilting to the left because its meant to be parked with the far side up on a curb

As X-Raited said, but nice chop
