I've decided to take a photo of an ordinary Mini Cooper "S"; and apply digital enhancements; with the final output of the sporty car in a showroom advertisement kind of feel. (see below final image)

The final output. My favorite car in my favorite colors; waiting to be driven off from the showroom!

The original photo I've taken from the web; credit to the original owner. :P

Masking time! I masked out the car into its own element. I did enhance the look a bit here by applying a classic "S" curve.

LAB time! How to change the bluish color to my favorite green color? Using LAB mode is the easiest! Note that the bumpers and other chrome parts of the car reflect the green color correctly.
Some touchup here and there is needed.
I redid the whole windscreen area.
On hindsight; I've missed out on the reflections on the car hood area.
Three other versions of the final image below:

Ready to be sold: With specs like these; that's what I call Mini Power!

A mini in classic Black & White! I'm loving it!

Zoom in close on the reflection on the floor area!

A fake advert I did; well some of the words used are pretty dumb! (I know I know!)
I used radial blur filter on the wheels; and motion blur filter on the background to get the desired "car in motion" effect.
Part 2 coming soon!

Looks good! How long did it take for the windshield?
Thank you! Not long really; about 5 minutes max of cloning and touching up. :)
Wow. Nice. I want your skills man. Maybe I should start by getting photoshop...
