Use the Automatic planner mapping to get the better look and will be easier to deal with it. If the car is in seperate geometry, then UV map each part individually, I use a checker map to help out with UV layouts.

The model itself is looking really good but the topology still looks a bit of a mess in places. I know what a pain in the ass and how difficult it is to create a mesh with clean topology but hang in there since this is starting to really take shape.

It looks pretty nice man, if i were you i would use a mirrored smooth proxy so you can interactively change the smoothed model so when you smooth you don't have to adjust anything.
