The overall effect is really good. ..... just needs that coffin 
I've always likes lime green against flat black ... it just looks mean
As Tony said a black wash would emphasise the detailing on the wheels, i think you'd get away with a thinned acrylic flat black and lay the car on its side so the paint dries evenly in all the creases and doesn't dribble to the bottom of the wheel.
The rust effect that you're not happy with might be the colour thats giving the visual impression. For my rust wash i use 2 parts mid brown to one part bright red and when dried on models it seems to look ok to scale.
Ians idea of scratching the chrome and then letting the paint find it's way into the gaps then wiping off the excess is a good one (and i'll be using it myself at some time)
I actually like the bumbers as they are and would just be tempted to get some mud colour on a toothbrush and flick some spray behind the wheelarches and a bit over the wheels (after they've had a wash) so the body weathering blends in with the bumpers.
