Since you havent got any answers I might try help you. I think I would start make those parts so that I would divide it several peaces(depends how complex the part is that how many and how small pieces it need to be broken). To me its easier to model that way. Dont know is that good way to model but it's only that works for bonehead like me . Maybe someone could advise you better.

Of course I want to make this side parts from several pieces, but I dont know how to make place, where is furrow which is on all long of side of car (front side, doors and back side)

Well I would try simply 2-rail sweep :roll:.

I don't have the models with me at the moment, but I'll post the pictures, so you'll see how these parts are done. These are very common to many modern cars.

Generally speaking, you can make two or three surfaces and fit them together using "Match Surface" command. Or you can make a single larger surface and move the control points, so when shape is ok you cut off all the extra areas.

The rear fender is more difficult, you'll have to do it in two steps: 1. you do the fender as it would look without the edge on the side of the car. 2. you make the side of the car and fit the surfaces to the fender.

I found a couple of models that might illustrate these aspects to some extent.
