Hi Robert.
Overall I think you've done an excellent job. I however think the mud just doesn't look quite right. Now sure I can explain it.
On some shots, it appears the inside of the extenders are silver looking. Not sure if it's just me or the photo.
The fading, chipping, streaking and stwoage are first rate. I'd go

It looks very good. The same as others I also like the mud effect. If it were mine, I would add some splatters above the areas where there is mud just like water marks -- . Because there is mud, it means that there was rain, probably some water or rain marks running down the sides would also give it a very realistic look. Just my opinion, but hey, as it is it already looks fantastic.

Cheers
