I need photos of cars, but they have to be taken a certain way to ensure standardization for a research project. I need a 2004-2006 Opel Astra, 2004-2006 Opel Signum, 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Colt.

The pictures need to be straight on frontal shots. They have to be taken about half way up the height of the car and far enough away to see the entire car and some background. Preferably on silver or white background with no harsh shadows. I need them in high resolution as well.

If anyone has a car they can take a picture of, I can probably do the editing in photoshop with the background and shadows. Just make sure you know the height of the car and set the camera at half. Height stats can be found online.
 
Rent said cars and have the photos professionally done (or take the pics yourself if you're good with a camera). If you want to save some cash, ask the manager of a local car rental place or used car dealership if he would be willing to DONATE the car rental time (or ASK if you could just take a pic of it in the lot) in the interest of higher education/research.

That way, you can TRULY assure that your shots are "standardized" for research purposes.

dang, you don't want much. google images. if you just google this stuff, and you don't have a long drawn out search command, many of these sites may be on page 30, or maybe 60, but check the sites that have images pop. dig into them and link off them and you will find lots of stuff to work with. you're into shopping them anyway. if you will only accept the details that you list, that's possible too, but you pay (or they have their name stamped on them). but i can search all day long, calling up thousands of pics. so can you. you will find acceptable shots. good luck.
