Photoshop squish my WRX please :)
my first attempt (crappy photo but it was handy) -the walkthru works fine, thanks! (once I'd learnt how to make multiple selections)

oddly, the original photo now looks stretched!!!

Fella thanks very much for doing my car it looks great.
Can i be a pain and ask for a little novice help , i have obtained CS3 , and went thru your advice on page 1.
Select each wheel with the Polygon lasso tool.
Take a small part of the arch n surrounding area around the wheels to.
Copy n paste the selections to new layers.
Duplicate the main picture to a new layer.
Transform the copy (CTRL+T) n resize to roughly half the width.
i can get up to this point fine , but i cant get the wheels back on ?
i end up with 4 layers , the origional , front wheel , back , wheel and the copy all squashed down but i can get the wheels to drag over the copy?
can you give me a little more advice ,
Select your wheel layers n move them over the above resized pic.
Tidy up overlapping areas with eraser/selection tool.
Hide the original pic in layers. Flatten the image n delete the hidden layer.
Crop your result to tidy it up.
Resize to 640 X whatever so its nice n smooth on snet
thanks again .
Chris.

For the areas that don't match up, overlap etc, use the eraser as much as you can then flatten the image n use the clone/smudge tools to touch up whats left over.
Clone tool can also be used to blend out the door handle after u've copied a selection over the top of it. Smudge tool is also good for blending colours together.
