I gotta be honest. The smoothing looks horrible. Your wires have mistakes in them. From that I can see that you will have problems modeling it. For advice, I would say, you must break your car up into sections. Subdivide it, DONT SMOOTH!! Give it depth and convert back to polys.

well u dont always have to subD it because if you model it properly, a smooth will do the trick look at mines or youngs cars.. Personally, using subD sucks cause

1- using sub d creases suck for good corners and if u model it so that u dont need to use subd creases, then the smooth will do the same thing

2 - u have to save another file cause once u turn ur sub d to polys for a final version, u cant get it back where as a smooth, u can set the itts. back to 0 and it will be back at its base mode.

Its commin a long acid. cars arent easy esp your first car. id say focus on keeping your mesh evenly spread out and start with 1 part until u get it where u want. start with ahood, work on it until its how u want it and then move onto the next part using extrude or whatever method u do because if you have the mesh modeled properly for 1 part, it makes doing the next part 10 times easier. I can say ur bugatti looks way beter then the zhonda so just keep at it, its comming a long and in no time, it will be looking floawless

also, im lookin at ur taililghts and its a bit bumpy because of the tris. what i usually do is for a circle is, u only need a 10 sided or 8 sided cylinder. i usually use 8 sided ones. once i get my cylinder, i push it through the mesh and then take my split poly tool and cut out where each edge on the cylinder is so that u will have a 8 sided cylinder on ur mesh. then try to make quads with ur mesh outta it. sometimes u might have to add a row or column but it works perfect. i will make a simple pdf with images tonight to show you what im talking about

Here you go as promised. This is how i make my cutouts which in my opinion is more efficient then booleans and cleaners. you will also get less bumpers. Inside this zip file is images and a text file. the text file is instructions 1-19 so just match #1 from the txt file with 1.jpeg, 2 with 2.jpeg etc......

heres the link:
