The official Chopping Contest entries thread

[Kooper]

OK, we got a full-blown Chop Contest on our hands!


Previously on UCP:

It was decided that:

1) Rockefella will be running the Contests (thanks again Rocke)
2) There will be a time-frame (as yet undecided I think)
3) The winner gets to choose the new pic to chop, prizes might become a possibility later on


The first pic on the chopping block is this.


Let the show begin!

I've had a lot of time on my hands this past few days so I did mine already. It's pretty low-grade stuff.
Color.
Brushed front body kit.
Seam/Door delete.
Extended Side window.
New Wheels
Lowered and Changed the shape of one fender.

On a side note, should we keep the 800 pixel width frame rule?

EDIT: Criticism is acceptable.



Small Update

[cmcpokey]

and yes for the 800 px.

Looking good 70cuda88.


I'm nearly there with mine as well, but the water reflection on mine is leaving me scratching my head a bit.

I was wondering if you guys would be okay with me cropping the reflection off. Every time I try to modify it to look like the body I screw it up more.
EDIT: Props 'cuda, it looks pretty fine.

Do whatever you want.

Very nice Kooper! I like the Sasol decal! Very South African. I have to be completely honest with you, I expected someone with your level of skill you to have kept the reflection. Still a good job though!

i was leaving for the airport tonight, have a vacation to go to, and was not really able to do anything for the chop...

but the flight is changed to tomorrow night, so here is it....

as u'll know the latest bling in Dubai is chrome, i thought why not...

Thanks Superwaxer

I really wanted to keep the reflection as well, but after tinkering with it for a while I didn't get anywhere good with it, think I might be a bit more rusty than I thought


EDIT: I like it G 13191, the Hamann rims fit really well.

Youre not rusty at all mate! Youre very very good and I like your design very much. Better luck next time?

Hehe, thanks buddy.

I keep stumbling across a lot of missed bits in my chop, hence the high number of updates.

I'm still tweaking it, might be tweaking it for quite a while.

How's your chop coming along?

No no, that's just me dying of curiosity.

I'd say you can post what you have so far if you want to, or just post your final version when it's ready.

If the winner can't decide what car to pick next, here's an idea. Been wanting to chop for a while.

BTW, when is the end date?
