I really like the rear end a lot. I really like the way you played with the proportions, too. It needs a channeling to hide the chassis under the bonnet.

Lose the headlights. No really.

The windshield would be much better in a Duvall style, like so:

Looks better with the roof on rather than off. Still dont like the lights on the front, too big i think Sad

Looks good in that view, i think its because it hides the bonnet hinge and you cannot see the front lights quite so much. I like it there though Surprised

Yep, Tony got it right. Worst part of this car is that awfull bonnet hinge and
head lights. Would it be big job to make lights like in real barbot? and in size
of 2cv lights.

Wow! I never realized it is so tiny! It looks good, though. The body proportions are well though out. The top works very well too.
Keep up the good work!

i m agree with olli and tony! your front lights 're too big! but in right place. try with 2cv's ones.

I don't think original 2cv lights will work. They are too deep and will stick out too much in front of the car.
I think you should try an integrated design, like the original:

Here are a few other examples to take ideas from:

If you want to make it very simple, you could use original 2cv lamps for the design, by improving on this idea:

Just take your time to get the proportions and lines right and you'll have a great front end too.
