The pics are all here - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=Matt%20H&carid=5396&page=all
(The ones towards the bottom numbered 1-52)
The quality is a bit crap as they've been scaled down when I uploaded them 
Can someone have a little look through & tell me what they think is good & where I have gone wrong etc
Cheers

Not bad matt although you couldnt have picked a much worse day, theres not enough light so all the pics look too dark. A few breaks in the cloud and some blue sky would make all the difference
Some nice angles though

Before:
After:
Little play in photoshop will improve them 100x - just lightened it up and adjusted the contrast - quality isnt great tho

I think on that pic you have gone a bit overbored with the contrast. The colours look unrealistic. If you're going to change anything when editing photos id adjust the levels first and see how it looks. I adjusted the levels on the same photo slightly and this is how it came out:
Before:
After:
Only a subtle adjustment but it does make a difference and keeps the photo looking "natural"
PS Matt is it just the lighting or is there a small dent on the top of the front bumper, near the wheel arch?

Nice location, plenty of pics which helps, but the light wasn't on your side!

It was the light creating a shadow on the bumper I think, noticed it whilst taking pics but the light was going so quick I didn't think it was worth trying to move it

The 'dent' is where the Airdam never fitted properly so its on the bracket but the bumper is trying to pull itself down. Not really noticable normally but them pics make it stand out a fair bit.

Yeah Matt, it used to hang down on the nearside but I got some brackets to pull it up. In person its not noticable, but the light seems to have made it stand out alot.
Like that Matt, not that bad but it annoyed me.

They are only a couple of bits of metal so would be pretty easy to make.
These are them, they just screw into the side of the car where the plastic mounting is.
Anyway thread hijacking over.
