1987 K10 photoshop

[Connor]

Hey, I should be picking up a 1987 auto K10 at the end of the month. very clean and the interior is beautifully retro. So decided just to do a photoshop of what I would Ideally want it to look like. I get the impression that rat-looking is frowned upon here but I want to lean towards that but still keep it nice and clean.

Original, pretty clean and only 54k on the clock:

Photoshop (If anyone has a decent set of 13" alleycats PM me or post in this thread):

Tell me what you think of it, I'm open to any suggestions on ideas

Damn... I wanted this so badly i need a k10 in my life.

Aha sorry man, but as soon as I saw it was in Hitchin (which is about 3 miles from my house) I knew it was meant to be :grinning:

id take the pin striping and door protectors off and i wouldn't go with the tints but apart from that it would look mint mate (Y)

 

[Connor]

I was thinking about 'shopping them out but thought better of it :doh: but definitely something to consider!

So yeah photoshopped the rear last night,, thought it looked alright.

Rear original:
I think I might move the nipples closer together and get a smaller plate like a march

Photoshopped:
Bump strips and red line removed...looks a bit nicer but might keep them on for originality

Front end V2:
Bump strips removed, wing mirror movd further down (lol bad editing ftw)

Good look, lose the tints! A K10 is like sitting in a green house, there is so much glass around you can see everything! Can you get a BBS split rim wheel on a micra, would be a sweet look

 

[dg_unit]

i liked the red stripe.

 

[Connor]

Actually thinking of keeping the red stripe, try and get red trim for the grill like a mk1 gti Golf?
Tempted to try and fit a mk1 golf front splitter on anyway, should be interesting

Can anyone tell me how to get photoshop?

 

[AH.K10]

There is a recess in the top of the bumpers that is begging for a red stipe if you keep the bump strips! nothing wrong with leaning towards rat Yeh is say loose the tints too im afraid. And a good back to black session when you get it! lol.

full CS6?..about £600 from Amazon... <_<
basic elements version about £50
...or you can get an open source program called "the Gimp" (no word of a lie) for FREE
http://www.gimp.org/ that's what i usually use, well...I'm still on 2.4, must upgrade and see what the new one's like
...easy to learn and there are loads of tutorials around online too, they even have their own forum for users

anyway back to the car...I think you should lose the bump strips, keep the red stripe and headlamps as they are
...wheel wise I think retro style wire multispokes are always a winner on an 80's classic, although the one's you've shopped on look pretty ace too

GIMP ftw

I compile the latest from git on Arch

And it's GNU Image Manipulation Program for any of you thinking of gimp masks.
