Reminds me... one of my favorite. How can I forget your car's pic man
(hope you don't mind)


^ real, no no rendering

Couldn't resist to throw in that Artic Silver with the HDR environments. Adv shadows, global illuminations and caustics set to ON. Certainly best viewed full HD (1080), just click on the pic and this will shoot you over to Flickr where you can dwload the 1980*1080 version.

ps. not a sale pitch lolll I've already spoke with our friend 01BOXYS I do these for myself to practice while I have the office's mobile workstation here. Just uploading the ones (I think) are cool looking.

Besides... threads needs visuals, everyone loves visuals, so expect more hehehe

The Season's Wallpaper (Glacier white, Vivo Series, gunmetal)

How about a Arctic silver car with Luminoso in gun metal shot.

The next trick is to slide another smaller diameter projector in there and redo the deflector cup to take it....and then electrical? I see lots of room there!

It's tight in there.

Photoshop concept:



I don't have the sweet machining equipment that Fred has, so I had to settle.

Wow C is for Crafty no doubt! Beautifully done!

Ah! yes, the Luminoso Series. Certainly the hottest kit in town but bloody difficult to machine :/ Hence their slightly higher price tag (+15%)

Fred,

Could you render these views with tourismos to compare.....?

Jay mate, not in an ideal position to toast those for you right away but will get them done. I'll get the 3 series lined up, not in Iguana green however. That green rendering belongs to a member here btw (sent you his youtube channel by pm)

RE dual-projectors. If one day I feel that there is a strong demand for dual-projectors I might consider throwing the required R&D and time into this. Atm you are the second guy who asked for this. And as you've already guessed, it would indeed need a serious redesign of the stock headlight. The Bi-Xenon Projectors you see now are designed with an emphasis on simplicity and really, that what works for the majority. Effective, safe, lightweight, easy-to-install, what else... ah yes; reasonably priced (important).

ps: if you want a guesstimate for a quality & functional quad-xenon, by all means feel free to PM - I'll make those for you with passion. However something tells me you'll change your mind as fast as your idea came up +$$+

Hello China, here is Geneva !

How is the status of the prod ?

I’m waiting for a set of “Vivo”, and while waiting, let’s show you these Vivo will land :
(the “Before” photo !!)



or, ..not really a “show car”, neither a Daily (with Nitto NT01 !!), but a lovely track car.
Easy to recognize this one, a month ago, together with the great friends of the Golden Gate Lotus Club !

I was hesitating between Red Vivo (to make some companionship of the “Mobil Pegase”, the kill switch and the “stripes” (I bought this car with these stripes !! Yes, I know, ..I have to change the 3.2 engine into a 4.0, ..or remove these stripes !!)
or, Gun Metal Vivo, to match the OZ Alleggerita !
I think the GM will be a bit more “classic”, and just hope that they will hit the Pelican stock before the red ones !

To let you have a feel of the inside, it looks like that :



So, if I can remodel the seats, ..then I hope I will be able to remodel the head lights !


Avec mes meilleures salutations, depuis l’Europe cette fois !

I'm having the same issue, but both of mine have been out for a while. They didn't just go out overnight- I noticed them being more and more dim over time and now both are out completely. If anyone knows the solution, a post would be appreciated!
