• First problem, the pattern are not orthographique.

So, i have made a cube with FIA data about lenght, etc the car have to respect.

• After, I have just build a basic spline cage, but I advice to use a polygonal modelisation because i had too many poly on air vent.
• Then, with a surface tool (threresold 1), I converted the mesh in editable polygon in order to clean it, trying to have just quadripatch.
• Next step is just adjusting all vertexes to get the better mesh as possible (N.B: use a reference with a meshsmooth is very useful).
