Ah that's cool, thanks Patchz :)
What do you think about trying to darken a little bit the intakes ? To paint some kind of false shadow, so tha the intakes become darker and darker in proximity to the black part ?

... but it's true that those intakes are really short... I don't really know if a shadow effect would look realistic at all :/

I don't know, but I think it's worth looking into. Thanks.

As you said, the intakes are very short. It is difficult to get the gradient looking right in that short a distance. But tell me what you think.

It's a good start !
Now, I think the darkest color should be the same as the inside. You have made a color fading down to black, but the central part itself is grey. This is not consistent: the beginning of the intake should be just white like the external part, and then it should slowly fade to exactely the same grey as the central part.

[color=#000000]Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice it until after I posted and was too tired to redo. I'll fix it later.
