Hi I was wondering if anybody could help me. I'm currently doing a paint apprenticeship with BMW and have been entered to do a project for an apprentice of the year competition.

My assessor wants me to airbrush a photo realistic s14 engine onto an e30 m3 bonnet. I've got the bonnet and painted white already but I'm having trouble finding good quality images of the engine at a birds eye view.

Was just wondering if anybody here has an m3 with an s14 engine that they could take some high resolution photos of for me to use as references?

Thanks for your help

Wow thanks mate I'd really appreciate it! I'm after this sort of angle I'd just use that picture put when I enlarge it it just goes blurry.

Thanks for your help buddy

When it comes out next I'll take some with my Nikon D90 for better quality, but when that will be I don't know.
