In my opinion just using a trim sheet would make it more involved to push the assets uniqueness and be a bit overkill if not re-used for other assets as well. I think in order to optimize UV space for this object, one could add some tiling strips for long/tiling parts (tires, beams, frame) as well as re-useable islands for repeated and mirrored elements (spokes, parts off center, ...) to the unique texture islands (body).

So are you saying it could used a trim hybrid with the seats being unique and the rest just metal trims?

Hi! Yes, something like that. If you’re up for sharing the lowpoly, I'd be interested to try it out.

You certainly can, however the purpose of trim is reusability too so unless you have some similar assets like bicycle for example that can use that same trimsheet it will just be like a unique texture. Here is a good example

Hamish Ames streamed a session with Beyond Extent, walking through his hybrid trim process making a boat + trailer prop - quite interesting.
