What do I need to do?

I am going to uml, and would love to win this sort of thing. Be something great on the resume, and really help me out with some books. What should I change? I got a couple of days, and need to know!

I think the color can be considered, I have been seeing a bunch of orange. Thoughts?

Thanks!

top cowl needs to be narrower id say...for a car that seems to be designed with a caterham or ariel design in mind the cowl is too wide..make it like a cobra hood..wider at the top(near windsceen) and narrower over the front wheels.

It looks like a whale trying to eat all the plankton. Does it need a mouth that big?

Put a V-shaped ridge down the front. Not very deep, but enough to give it character. There's way too much blank space there. I'm not sure if you can even visualize what I'm trying to say, though...

Classic round style headlights. Looks too much like an Exocet right now.

I'd like to see some sort of grille or something to divide up the gaping mouth. You also may try some vertical driving lights underneath the headlights (this is a shot in the dark, no pun intended). I also agree with mr_gofast, narrowing the hood towards the front more would look a bit better too.

I would think about how wide the front is. Will the wheels clear when going lock to lock?

As a community member, browse the other entries and see what the critiques on them say, and see if it helps you gain perspective. Might be cool to have some of the red bars showing in the mouth, and don't forget about the intercooler this will most likely have (turbo 4 cyl is proposed) which would add to the look.
