That does look really nice, almost like a photo at first glance.

Some suggestions to make it *even* better:

* Add some grooves for where the doors, bonet, boot etc close
* Make the tyres a bit darker
* Make the tyres bulge out a little at the bottom
* There's a bit of a funny lump around the rear wheel-arch.
* The front wheel arch isn't very curved
