1. The seven angles
There are seven angles: front, front-3q, side, rear-3q, rear, side-right and hero-front, the low front view. Leave angle out and you get front-3q. Any angle can be flipped: add flip=true for its mirror image. An angle we do not offer is served as front-3q, and the Hyke-Differences header says so.
angle=front
angle=front-3q
angle=side
angle=rear-3q
angle=rear
angle=side-right
angle=hero-front

2. Backgrounds
Leave background out and the picture comes on a transparent background. Ask for background=transparent, or for any six-character colour code such as F4F4F4, to put that colour behind the vehicle.
A JPEG has no transparency:
A JPEG cannot have a transparent background, so we served a white background.
A background we cannot read is never refused:
We did not recognise the background "sky", so we served a transparent background.
3. In basic settings
Once the month's full requests are used up, a basic request gets the front three-quarter angle on a white background:
The transparent background is available for your first 150 requests each month. We served a white background.
4. What the picture is
Every picture is a computer-generated representation of the vehicle, not a photograph, whichever angle and background you choose.
