How would you draw this ?

[wachy]

Hello there I want to achieve a metallic look for an interface, and I have been trying many thingsbut nothing gives me the result I want. I would greatly appreciatte if someone could tell me what aproach would you use to draw something like the ferrari in this picture:

You dont have to tell me how to draw the whole ferrari, if you can only tell me how would you draw a specific part that is fine, then I can figure out the rest, that would be enough. I have problems understanding how to properly manipulate the meshes, to achieve the results I want.

Before ending, I wanted to say that I am a very good artist in general so my problem is not artistic but technical. With photoshop I know I would be able to draw it, but I want to learn how the pros do it with vectors !!!! thanks !!!

here is the link to the image I was talking about:
