Nice start.

What's wrong with the surface? It looks well enough, after all you are probably (?) going to bake it so some details will disappear. Could you post a wire'd screenshot?

Also you dudes inspired me getting Blender. Is it easy to use/model?

I think it is easier than 3ds max. I use it and I think it is very good software.

It depends of what you likes. Personnaly, I do use 3DS. I never got into Blender's interface which is quite disgusting for me (just my 2 cents heh ;d )

very clear :) can you make screens with perspective?
I think now... you should make opened headlights. because in night it will look not good.

yeah true Clutch , i suddenly realise that i have to open them... still doable

RacingFreak yes blender helps giving a nice look :) by the way it is not very simple to start Blender but with time i can see advantages.

Make sure you keep the high poly models so that when the new importer is released, you can import those instead!

It's nice but i'd say the front's too high. Or is it just me? Plus we can see through the rear wheel's panel. But yeah, it's cool

Actually, you can fix reflections right now by using the vertex patch. It's a bit complicated but it works.

I love the texture, except headlights, they are too.... smoothly mapped? I don't know how to describe it.
