The front mesh grill is definately on the right track but the individual pieces need to be much thinner. Also, don't forget to check your tangency between halves. I have modeled some cars for weeks only to figure out that I forgot to check this and ended up started over.

Nice reflections. The scene is a little dark but is shaping up nicely. Also, you may want to try adding a speckle effect to the paint shader like dilberts' image on the link below:

A 3d rock outAlpha dropped onto a blinn's specularRollOff, combined with another transparent blinn with a tight highlight. Combined meaning drop them both into a layered shader.
