Nice! It looks like this has a lot of potential for really nice reflections,
but since the sky is only so bright and the reflection constants look fairly
low, a lot of the reflective surfaces are kind of dim. Maybe this could
benefit from a large, no_image no_shadow sphere with a simple texture with
bright spots? Or maybe something as simple as specular highlights?

Why not... that's why I've noticed 'almost finished'
thx for the ideas... But I don't really know if no_image texture will 
reflect something ?!

An object will be reflected as long as it doesn't have no_reflection set.
no_image simply makes it invisible except in reflections.

I was thinking of something along these lines:

sphere {
0,1
texture {
pigment {bozo color_map {[0 rgb 1][1 rgb 3]} scale .3}
finish {ambient 1 diffuse 0}
}
scale 10000
no_image
no_shadow
hollow
}

(It could just be a sky_sphere except that you can't set a sky_sphere to
have no_image.)

Fantastic. HDRI or area lamps? Radiosity?

Thanks ;-))
No eternal light, just light_sources inside the "lamps"
No HDRI but high quality radiosity.
