Remove the white border before you upload it. So remove the white border, edit your post and re upload.

the shadow is way to dark, what program do you use.

Mandajoc

I use paint.net and i don't really know all the tricks of the trade.

you should try to get adobe photoshop it can make this a ton easier.

You will need to play around with distorting the cloned panels so that the horizontal lines line-up with the other areas of the car. 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. I have sent you a link for a more suitable program for you to try.

Just curious: Why the title "Snake Charmer".

the first thing you must do...search for a good source...a high resolution image, and then try what c00per said"

The source I had was Ginormus but i had to shrink it to post.I think i need to buy a photoshop instead of using free paint.net,You get what you pay for.

The idea has a merit, but the execution needs improvement. I agree with the above critiques.
