Thanks dude,i took them with a Canon 60D Body.Still need to practice though.
Most SLR's will offer picture quality like that it's just having the correct settings for the atmosphere.

Found a pic and played around with it dome more ha, Essex style. Me and the car....
Also my abs light pops up and goes away like every other trip to work, then my handbrake warning light bleeped at me and flashed so it's now gearbox noise and abs problems lol. So cleaned my fuses and reset the abs lights, only to pop up strait away ha, so inthink my sensor is dead as my code reader said, ABS operation system out side range of tolerance. And abs wheel speed signal left front. Range/performance. Think the sensor has had it, common fault apparently????
It's having an oil change, oil filter, gearbox oil and check so that should help out abit. Think il do a g60 upgrade next as I'm running more power than most. Can you get all the g60 parts from Vw???

In regards to the ABS light, it's mostly likely the controller mate. There's a part of the circuit board which corrodes and the solder loses contact. Check out this thread for more info, I had to do mine before selling it:

Remember you only need the G60 carriers mate, front GTI callipers are fine.
I think you can buy them new still but I dont have the part number

Well my gearbox is mint now, no noise or anything all they did was top it up with oil. It only had 2.1l in and they filled it up to 3.6l or summin like that so yeah loads of oil missing
And my abs sensor had gone along with the wire being munched up due to me fitting the coilovers I must have caught it or summin.!
So she is back all kicking again, but now my steering column bearings are playing up alot more so that's a £215 fix lol! It's been like it for years but it's pretty acute now.
It's all smiles though as I don't have to get another box lol.!

I can see where this is going lol,
Been busy at work with private jobs and that so haven't had much time to do my other plans I got.......
Iv been having a long think about another car or selling etc but I have decided to keep her and get a quad bike, you only live once and I have got a winter car sorted aswell. My dad has been given, wait for it, Hugh grants 99 reg mercedes c class 2.4l auto v6 in dark met blue, full leather, sunroof etc. Been sitting for years at a mansion my dad works at so he asked if he could have it and the owner said yeah take it. Was a gift from Hugh grant to the owner lol! RESULT. think il spec it to AMG wheels and tint with lows and that's an awesome second winter car....
As for my car this is my list.
Carbon the rear seat clips or dipped carbon
Carbon scuttle panel dip, will get new from Vw
A new vw UP light switch as it's gloss black not brushed metal like the normal light switch mod
Blanking plate for rear tow hook cut out in bumper
Paint my sills as there kinda scratched and that's the only part of my car I haven't resprayed lol!
Smooth my door handles
Front plate hider
TT pedals or similar.
New rear speakers with custom b pillar tweeter pods, focal of course ha.
finish my custom coilover adjusters aswell... Been lazy with them tbh
And a front brake upgrade, what to go for? G60s be good enough?
That's it for now
