That's part of it. The mesh I'm using (from elsewhere( is not refined enough as
can be seen around the wheel well and whell itself.
I think there is more issues with the headlight than just that though. One
problem that always comes up, is these models come with a single layer mesh for
the window, headlight glass etc, which, when rendered as glass in POV becomes
infinitely thick, so I have to manually manipulate the mesh to add a second
layer so the glass has thickness. Typically for older style head lights, the
interior surface of the glass is not smooth, but facted. Perhaps I should try
adding some normals to them.
