Re: Glasurblau RS Touring
There are two contradictory expressions: "God is in the details" (Mies van der Rohe) and "The Devil's in the detail" (unattributed, but occasionally incorrectly attributed to van der Rohe).
So, are you God or the Devil?
As long as the VIN number is correct (there will be some red faces in a few months' time when a couple of RSs come to the market…) and the work that's been done has been done well, I'd be happy to have it in my garage, wrong colour hinges or not.

Re: Glasurblau RS Touring
as usual, not many of us have problems with incorrect details .... UNLESS the dealer makes claims in the description that the restoration is 100% , or the details are 100 % etc
Picking a car apart is nothing to do with the car, but more to do with the dealers / descriptions
At least in this case the seats are mentioned

Re: Glasurblau RS Touring
I think the point to make is that if something as basic as a wrong coloured coil and lid hinges is on display,
it just rings alarm bells and makes you wonder about the rest of the stuff that perhaps you can't see
It also shows a dealer with no idea of what the car should look like, maybe they should stick with Ferrari's!

I do like a bit of detail and admire those with a passion to have everything correct......on balance though minor details are easily rectified, poor quality is not.
Give me a job done well first and second every time!

Re: Glasurblau RS Touring
They are missing their grommets. That what I would call attention to detail.
Hence I agree with your (and Mikes) comments above. This is not about the car, this is about the seller, sorry, specialist.
The car is special.

Mike

Four options, two missing.
Great looking RS.

I know you have been struggling to sleep, so fitted my grommets the other day. Hope that helps. Sweet dreams babe.210bhp wrote:They are missing their grommets. That what I would call attention to detail.

What makes you think the background was "Photoshopped out" ? It wasn't.
For the record, the wing mirrors were still on the shots when I supplied them to the client !

Hi Tim, have to say I thought there was an element of photoshop in the background as well. There are quite a few keenRoadrunner wrote:What makes you think the background was "Photoshopped out" ? It wasn't.Tim
photographers here who I'm sure would be fascinated to hear how you do a shoot like that, can you talk as through it,
with perhaps some test shoots and light set ups and so on?
cheers, Mike.

Doh, the fact that the side shots show a wing mirror, and on the front and rear shots don't, although you can see the reflection in the top of the doorRoadrunner wrote:Nick,Nick Moss wrote:Someone has photo-shopped out the background, taking the mirror with it.left4dead wrote:Isn't it bizarre that in some shots it has a wing mirror and in others it doesn't?
