How do I upload pictures?


Simply click on upload and browse to find the pictures you have saved on to your computer. These should be saved as jpeg (or jpg) files saved at a minimum resolution of 640x480 (both of these tend to be default settings for digital cameras). We will resize the pictures for optimum use once you've uploaded them. If the photos are large files it may take a while to upload them, so we recommend a maximum file size of 1MB.



How many pictures should I take?


You can upload up to 8 pictures of your car. You should take as many as you need to highlight the salient features of your car. The first picture will be used as the default image for the results page, so make sure this is the best one. You should, however, include:

  • A front ¾ view - turn the wheels in slightly and stand on a diagonal line through the passenger seat and driver's light so that the picture captures the driver's side and front of the vehicle
  • A rear ¾ view - captures the rear and driver's side
  • A picture of the dash board if you want to show off the console
  • A picture of the boot if you want to show off boot space

We will veto vehicles cut out from their background, stock adverts, montages or pictures that we think are inappropriate.
