Photoshop an "AeroSmart," win a Smart ForTwo model... and now maybe cash (Jan6/2010)



So, here's the thing: take the above image and photoshop a full aero treatment onto it. The smart is a neat car with a tiny engine, but bad aerodynamics.

Make sure to make it look like the smart, with the colours and good lines and stuff.

Best photoshop wins a cute 1:87 scale model in one of two colours (I'll post pictures of them soon).

Good luck!

Ok, here's my bid for that model. The usual bells and whistles.
  • Kammback
  • Moon disks
  • Rear wheel covers
  • Wheel Deflectors
  • Antenna delete
Should be good for a few MPG's.

Fastplastic does not have a good eye for detail look at the reflection the smart car makes on the ground, it still has the old rims on

Can you make the image any bigger? It's rather hard to see
