I lied.

After an hour of trying to go to sleep I came back, I redid some of the back hatch, and split apart some more body parts for detailing...

In the pic where you have the change to the front circled, you need to do similar for the rear. You sides are going straight down.

88TurboTime, are you sure the mirrors on the silver car are S4? I thought the body colored areo mirrors (ones with the holes) were only introduced for the 88 10th AE and S5s.

all s4 t2's had aero mirrors. the ones on the silver car are s4's. all s5's came with aero mirrors but they are different than the s4's

What do you mean the pic with the front circled? Please tell me, otherwise I don't know what you are talking about.

I agree about the upper portion of the gaurds. They should be concave with a slight bulge around the front wheel (the extra line arcing from the bodyline and then back again in your blueprints) and back wheel. There are a few pics posted that show this already. The wheel arches are also not flared, and actually flare inwards slightly towards the bottom of the arch, with an increasing radius also. I'll get some pics for you tomorrow to show you what I mean.

Other than that, this is sweet. Props to you buddy...

Okay my mistake, I thought there was only the one kind of aero mirror and only on S5.

The picture on page 15 where you circled the change to the front bumper. Your rear bumper needs something similar. It is going almost straigth down on the bottom when it needs to taper in. View you model directly from behind and compare bottom part of the bumper to the pictures. You should be able to see it.
