These small cars remind me of going to the circus when I was young, so that is what I tried to reproduce.

Zarif, if you look at Step 9 you will see that the car is 2/3 it's original size. Any smaller and it would not have looked realistic.

It's Billy Smart's Smart Car! I think you might want to bring the contrast back up slightly in the windows but otherwise I think this image looks great!
