Hi, nice car. Here are my 2 cents :

The car is a bit too reflective, IMO. The tyres _really_ need some texture 
or normal effect... They,re too smooth. Where are the doors? the moving 
parts?

A license plate would be welcome, as some lights.

The floor is too much uniform. Try adding a road, a sign, a tree, 
buildings... anything you want :)

PovRay
 =)

It's all blobs. I've still got to fix up the windows, lights and interior. I'm
also looking for something to convert it to a mesh to use it in Need for Speed 4

I'll bring it down a little.

Any ideas how? The straight lines could be CSG'd away with tori, but I'd like to
get a nice geometric patern.

Will be adding these soon. I'm not sure how to do the doors and panels. You
forgot the rear view mirror - I'll be adding that as well  ;).

I decided that I'd model the car on a salt plain. It still doesn't look quite
right for a salt plain though.
When the car is finished, I'll put it in a better scene.

Maybe CSG with a macro-placed heightfield...

If you don't plan to animate your car, you may just CSG the outline of the 
doors

Doh! Of course, no modelled car is complete without a rear-view mirror ;-)

It's too flat... needs some bumps, crackling... what about an... 
...heightfield? :)

Keep up the good work!

If I'm not wrong, and I probbaly am, povray can write its own mesh files,
though you will have to write the code to get it to do this.
