not too sure how i was going to do this so i just tried something out, sometimes trial and error is the best way.
i started by deleting some of the faces in the area where i am going to be putting the wheels. then using the split polygon tool i added more vetexes and went about moving them and creating a round wheel arch. then by selecting the vetexes on the edge of the arch i pulled them out beacuse the arches on cars usual come out further than the rest of the body to hide the majority of the top of the tyres.
i have also started the windows in this picture. I selcted the faces where the windows would sit then moved them inwards just to set them in a bit, then lowered the opacity not so much they are totally see through but enough to still give a glare from lights.
luckily this worked, next step was the wheels. I started by creating a cylinder selecting the faces round the edge of the cylinder and extruded them to act as the tyres on the wheels.
then selected the middle vertex and using soft select pulled it out. Soft select allows you to select a vertex then it has a drop off level which means it will not full effect the area around the vertex but will still move them slightly. this means i can get a nice rounded bulge on my hub caps of my van.
i want them to resemble the wheels that are usually on a Nissan Figaro
similar to these ones
so after i had made the arches for the wheels i then duplicated the wheel and put them in place.
next up is the grill and the lights.
