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!

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
