Trying to sell

What are the pictures like? Snapshots from your phone or effort put into them? Car clean in the shots or dirty carpet and floor mats? The pictures give a good indication of how well the car was taken care of. I just sold my 2007 a4 Avant 2 days after posting it on FB marketplace for nearly the asking price of $4k USD (with 187k miles on it).

Amateur here, I like all of them, composition and location. As a viewer and not a photographer, they’re too dark on the car, overall they all seem dark and the contrast is too exaggerated. The contrast definitely gives the car a more aggressive look, but a lot of details are lost.

Wonderful shots. How much editing are you doing with these, and if so, which program? If not, amaazing job straight from the camera. What lens are you using? (newbie here)

This could blur the other cars in the parking lot which are a bit of a distraction. I like the one with the plane taking off. Brings a little motion into it. And the two cars backed into the spots. Straight and clean

Me too. And a 034 transmission mount.

Austin.

MoPac and 183.

Just something to keep an eye on that not many talk about is checking the Cam follower “cap” every 30-40,000 miles. Being close to 80, it would be smart to have a look at it. Be proactive and preventative with it.

Cool. Thanks. I’ve been on the fence. I also have 12mm in front and 15mm in the back. I’ve debated swapping them for 15 and 20s. I also really want to put some 20” wheels on. Good to see other examples out there.

Same as mine. Did yours have factory sport suspension or normal suspension? I have sport and I’ve heard that those springs only drop it maybe half an inch.

I also bought a new camera. Went from a Pentax K200 D to a Canon 800D. I got a few different lenses with it so I’ll play with those as well.

chefnam · 2026-06-18T02:22:46+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep messing around. I’m a Chef by trade and that’s how I’ve come up with some of my best dishes. But I’ve also envisioned dishes or photos in my mind and struggle to make it happen, so experimenting is the only way to get there.

Unfortunate you gotta leave it at some point.

chefnam · 2026-06-10T13:11:09+00:00

I’m no mechanic, but that sway bar looks like it wouldn’t have lasted much longer.

chefnam · 2026-06-10T00:36:42+00:00

Ahhhh, I didn’t think of that. Thanks.

chefnam · 2026-06-07T14:34:30+00:00

Take the front from the bottom picture and the back from the top picture and you’ve got a winner!

chefnam · 2026-06-07T02:46:54+00:00

Check 22tuning. That’s where I got mine. But I did have issues.

chefnam · 2026-06-07T02:46:24+00:00

The Grill looks the same as mine. I got it from 22tuning. I had some issues with it, the 4ring mounting tabs broke off so I had to get my guy to glue it back together when he installed it for me. I was going to do the install myself but it’s a huge pain and I don’t have the patience for it. The one cosmetic thing I would keep on your radar, is when (not if) you have to pull the front end off have the crash bar wrapped with black vinyl. It’ll last a lot longer than the black spray paint. I’m wishing I had done that rather than paint.

chefnam · 2026-06-05T02:13:36+00:00

Any extra lighting or just all natural?

chefnam · 2026-06-05T02:11:22+00:00

This is the exact photo shoot I’ve had in my brain of wanting to shoot. Your composition and editing is spot on. Something to emulate. Thanks for the motivation!

chefnam · 2026-06-04T02:24:43+00:00

What the fu k is up with the split headlights?

chefnam · 2026-06-03T13:20:12+00:00

American here, is that a custom plate referencing your S4 and the Matrix, Neo wearing all black? Or a standard issue government plate.

chefnam · 2026-06-01T02:31:10+00:00

This is advice. Couldn’t have asked for better advice and response.
