Hey there. I'm no professional about giving criticism but i'll try my best.
This chop is great considering you're quite new to it. I'm very impressed.
But there are also some flaws as you would expect.

The paint is quite saturated in my opinion. If i was you, Select the whole car
with the pen tool. Image > Adjustments > Variations. Try that for a better
outcome. Also while on that topic it is 'Harder' to color white cars.
The rims look awesome and stylish on this car. But not exactly well
cut. ( The Back one ) Use the Elliptical tool and circle it then right click go to
transform selection and fit it just right. Otherwise select the whole rim and tire
by using the pen tool.

The vinyl is very cool. Kinda fits the style well imo. But maybe just lower the
opacity of it. The lights are pretty awesome dude and windows but maybe
on the windows don't just desaturate them, lower the brightness. By the
way i do love it. Im not flaming it or nothing but i see potenial in you
and i think with practice you can progress into a great chopper. Just hope
you dont take this the wrong way and use it to focus on your next chop.

Cheers!

Thanks Azz,
I'll take your comments as constructive, don't worry :)
I have to mention a few things though:
I tend to use the polygonal lasso tool more often than the pen tool,
The colour change was done with the variations method.....hence my outcome and I personally thought that it wasn't overly saturated(not too dark/light imo),
Point taken about the selection on the rear wheel,
With the donor image in a difficult angle, it's not always best to use the Elliptical tool for certain selections.

Your other points are taken with the best interests in mind,
Thanks a lot man :)

Its okay mate. My bad about the variations etc.
I Can't get everything right ay xD. Thanks for
taking it the right way! :)

AzZzA's right on this one dude, It wouldn't really matter too much if the chop was lighter or darker because it would still be over-saturated. de-saturate slightly, it'll make a huge difference to how real a chop can look.

Thanks, will try that this weekend or a new colour change altogether...
