Creating a Lamborghini Murcielago
Mirror mirror
Another detail that needs to be added is the side mirror. An easy object, compared to what you have modeled up till now.
Make sure you are in OGL display mode and in parallel projection.We start with a Polygonal SDS cube in top view. Note that you need a V value of 3 while creating the cube!Rename the object to Side mirror.
Polygonal SDS cube selected
Then switch to Point Edit mode and move the points around until you have the following shape (see next screenshot):

Then switch to Face Edit mode and extrude the face as indicated in the next image. Then switch back to Point Edit mode and adjust the shape, so you get something similar to this:
Face extruded, points moved
Go back to Face Edit mode and extrude this face again two more times. Select all faces, take a front view and apply the Knife tool (not the Object Knife!) two times, to add horizontal edges, as shown in the next image:
Horizontal edges added with the Knife tool (perspective view)
Now select the two opposite faces as shown in the next image and apply the Tunnel tool.
Select these opposite faces... and apply the Tunnel tool
The result is a hole in the object. The Tunnel tool added faces at the inside of the hole. This prevents that the object looks hollow, when viewed from the side. Now destroy the outer face, which is marked with the dotted cross. This reveals another face, destroy that one too, so you get this:
Tunnel tool applied, remaining two faces destroyed
Next we need to increase the face count, so we can add some rounding to the object. This time we will use the O.Knife tool (Object Knife) in the SDS tool bar. The tool requires to have an object to cut with. This time, that will be an extruded SDS object. So, create a SDS rectangle and add new faces using the same technique as you have been doing throughout this tutorial. Make sure the new object sticks out both on the upper as well as the lower side of the mirror object. Shape it, position it and use point editing to make it look like the object shown in the next image.
Cutting object added to the mirror
Now select the Mirror object, press and hold the Shift key, then select the cutting object you created. Click the O.Knife icon and accept the tool. Delete the cutting object from the hierarchy, because it is no longer needed.
Edges added with the Object Knife tool
Next we add some more detail to our mirror. Switch to Edge Edit mode and select one edge from third edge row from the left. Press and hold the Shift key and apply the Loop tool to select the entire ring of connecting edges. Then apply the Bevel tool to create a set of small faces (see next image):
Ring of edges selected, Bevel tool applied
Switch to Face Edit mode to automatically select all faces in the ring. Now extrude these faces inwards:

Now we need to make room for the actual mirror glass in our mirror object. Select all faces that make up the part where the mirror glass should be. Subdivide these once. While subdividing, set the 'Region' to 'Groups' and you get this:
Faces selected and subdivided group wise
Now extrude these inwards and you get this:
Faces extruded inwards
The final step is to add some rounding to our mirror object. Switch to Point Edit mode and select these points (see next screenshot). The easiest way to select them is to take a top view and drag select all back edges. Then take a front view select the Extend tool, which is located in the Transformation tool tab. Click in the centre of the mirror object, then press and hold the Shift key, move the mouse up (a nice straight line appears), click again, then move the mouse back down slowly and watch the movement of the selected points. When happy with the results, click again to finish the tool.
Points selected and slightly moved with the Extend tool
All that is left to do is add this object to the Lamborghini, maybe scale it down to the proper size and save your work!
