Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Last week we posted up Angelo Colusso's mk4 Golf from Bruges, Belgium. On the same day of that shoot I also brought out Stevie Despriet and his mk5 Golf. Like Angelo's mk4, this mk5 is also on an air ride set up from Kean Suspensions. With other mods including Koni Dampers, a mk6 MTD Interior, a GTI Black headliner, R32 backlights, and of course those 18" Audi A8 Stars.

First love destroyed

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

We all remember our first car, no matter what it was, good or bad it was our first love in cars and for a lot of us, our first car we got to tweak and make our own. Though our new photographer, Stephen Golden has a bit of an un finished story with his first car. Stephen, a 20 year old student photographer from Dublin, Ireland will be covering some shows and events for us down south this year. He sent us over these pictures and write up of his first car, give it a read. Imported from Englan…… Read the full article on www.ilovebass.co.uk/

Random Snap: 2 Hyundai Genesis Coupes

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Under N.Y. Street Lights (conveniently initialized as UNYSL) is one of the up and coming group of people with only one goal in mind: to appreciate, to befriend, and to respect the cars and their owners of all shapes and sizes, models and makes. During a quick get-together last week, I was able to get a shot of two of the many Hyundai Genesis Coupes that were there. The 2010 2.0T Mirabeau Blue Pearl, owned by Navdeep Kang is equipped with CXRacing intercooler and piping, CXRacing blow…… Read the full article on www.ilovebass.co.uk/

Angelo Colusso's mk 4 Golf

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Here in Belgium we've been getting some snow recently, so Angelo and I headed out at the weekend to get some snaps of his lovely mk4 Golf. As you can imagine, it was like hell to clean the cars on every location we used - but thanks to Adiwax, we got some pretty clean results! This is Angelo Colusso's Golf MK IV. The story behind it started with a Weitec coilover kit on the car, and a set of 18 inch Audi wheels, but Angelo wasn't happy. He decided he wanted to change up the body work, so he fit…… Read the full article on www.ilovebass.co.uk/

My name is Tom Plester, and this is my first picture here on I Love Bass. I'm an 18 year old A-level photography student with a passion for cars. I have been taking photos of cars from an early age which has helped me develop my photography skills. I am always looking for a new perspective on photography, as well as experimenting with new techniques to try and make my photography stand out from the crowd.

Last weekend James and I pulled into Dundalk, Ireland - about 50 miles from where we're based in Belfast.

First up we have Ray, whos Caddy is a 2001 1.9TDi. Originally blue, it has now been resprayed in Porsche Macadamia ( that's a snazy name for brown ). Then it's had the back bumper smoothed and flushed, ar…… Read the full article on www.ilovebass.co.uk/

Random Snap: Lee Ferguson's Audi B8

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

This is Lee Ferguson's Audi A4 saloon. He set out with a goal when he bought this car; to be the first in the UK with hydraulic suspension on one of these sweet rides. And you know what? He's only gone and done it! I spotted the car in Magherafelt one night, heading to Magherafelt. Northern Ireland's go-to guy for all things air/hydro, John Peden has given Lee the only Audi A4 with hydraulic suspension in the UK. Watching this thing roll down the road on those massive set of 3SDM wheels…… Read the full article on www.ilovebass.co.uk/
