Well heres my attempt to model my firs car...its VW Golf V, polys are used to model it.
It will tak a loooong time for me to finish it since is my first time and its pritty hard to get nice and smooth surface flow.
Im still testing things out plus my blueprints are pritty none matching.

hi there.. croatia huh.. love your country !! nice people and beaches!

I just recommend you not to smooth your surface yet. Not only because it gets really difficult to work with (think of all the vertices you'll get) but also because it wont match the reference pic anymore.... what i usualy do is build my geometry in poly.. than converrt it to subdiv..

hope it helps...
