>I drew a lot of it freehand and scanned. It's all original, though. very 
>little tracing. I traced the major body lines from the reference photo, 
>then traced the new lines (arches, bumpers, hatch spoiler) from the various 
>scanned sketches. Details and actual refining of the lines was done from 
>scratch directly in illustrator. The wheels were traced from the [BBS S-RS] 
>wheels on my BMW but with a little more lip. The interior is modeled after 
>a ferrari interior, but I had to redraw it from scratch at the right 
>perspective. Porsche inspired cluster. Doors like the SL300 (with their 
>really high door sills).
>Still a few things I'm going to tweak a bit, but the next step is to export 
>to photoshop and color it. Expect that in a couple weeks at least.

>I did another similar illustration about 6 months ago:

>and thought since i left it stock I'd do another version that was highly 
>modified. If I could build this car, I would. Things like the vents and the 
>notches in the rear bumper (not to mention the doors) are probably 
>controversial, but would probably be much more subtle in reality and will 
>look more that way once its colored.

>And on an unrelated note:
>I get to see my Scirocco again in 4 days!  I've missed it so much :(  No 
>driving this time, but still...
