well just :
add a displacement ,
or bump ,
texture ,
or just add detail by modeling in zbrush , but it's not a good option

You can also model them by hand...but I wouldn't want to do that...

If your mesh was built with "plating" in mind, then shell modifier the hell outta that thing for each panel and add some random damage.

If not, you can still create shells by doing booleans on the subdivided mesh. Clone your mesh, subdivide and collapse, create booleans, add shell modifier to each newly created plate...im no vehicle artist tho.

Psyk0 (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=134204), i thought to do like you said, but if i'll clone meshes then it's will be hard to texture it?

General rule of thumb: "If the detail is to be seen up close or creates shadows, use displacement, otherwise, use bump."

So, it really depends on the shot length, output resolution, but it's definitely one or the other.
