Default Classic Sparkle

Hi,
I have been recently to a vintage car show. I found some of the car very attractive.Here is one of them.Regarding shooting of such car i cant compose much or try different perspectives as many people are around( i am from India). I tried my best to capture this one displayed below, then i removed the BG and added a Lens Flare. Tell me about the post processing of this snap and also suggest me about other post processing techniques with such shots.....

The lens flare is far too bright and distracting. It draws the left eye right to it and now mine hurts. Also you've got a reflection in the windscreen of the original setting, despite you putting in a new background, thus putting the car within two settings.

Other than that it's not too bad. Perhaps a little more contrast to bring out the details a bit more.

The background through the rear window is distracting to me compared to the processed background. Also the shadows on the car maybe from trees nearby are distacting to me when you see this car with the processed background, but I'm sure they look fine with the original background. I like what you were going for with the lens flare.
