This is likely not going to be easy at the bottom section of the panels as the indent is not a uniform width from the front to the back of the car. You may have to redraw this part from scratch, using gradient fills and smooth bevels. You will also need to blend in the colour a bit more near the front as it becomes much lighter in comparison to the rear of the car. The added wheel should be taken from a higher quality source image so that it has a sharper look to it. I would say the same for whatever work that you decide to start as the car itself is slightly blurred. Always start with high quality, large, source images so that you are not restricted in displaying your skills and your finished work is a quality piece. Once you have the car and wheel looking the way that you want, cast a shadow that corresponds to the light source(s) in the image. The shadow will be much darker towards the underside/centre of the car than towards the peripheral. You will likely have to create a duplicate layer of the wheel directly over the existing wheel layer so that you can erase part of the wheel on the original layer to reduce the shadow offset cast by the wheel or the car will look like it is floating. A light shadow across the interior of the wheel rim and a darker one across the side of actual wheel cast by the lower panel of the car will also add some depth and separation from the two elements.

Armoured Pamy pictures - / Brunhilde would lend her breast plates probably. / Her head looks a little funny - not centered inside the head piece.

Also, the cut of the chest plate isn't even - you lost the symmetry and the rivets on the right side are gone. / Looks to me like the "plastic over her face" is her hair I like the look dont change it. What chest plate. Oh I see what your talking about now...... looks fine. / Her hair. I get it. Thank you. I couldn't figure that one out.
Snake Charmer pictures - / Good idea, snake is a bit bright though, maybe a little less contrast would do the trick. / Thanks for the tip. I had already tweaked it some, but you're right - it needed more. Hope I got enough on it this time.
