Stu, anthropomorphism is a very widely used argument in car design. Personnally I find too much "car faces" are intentionally and badly agressive. Some of them are also very haughty or contemptuous ...!

Brett, Thanks about the chromes, I have tested some solution without image map (I send the texture in next message) ; here I have placed a simple gradient backdrop to reflect. For a lot of my surfaces I love to use the Fast Fresnel shader. It's not too heavy and it adds a so nice false radiosity effect!

Gary, the backdrop color is used specially here to obtain an "old time" color feeling like in old car catalogues.
