Thats it your done. Now boot up GTR2 and see your car in game.
As you can see I used the Porsche 996 GT3 RSR.
It does not matter what car you use in GTR2 it is all done the same way.
If it does not work just go back and look at all the things you have done. Most of the time if it does not work it is because you have got 1 number wrong some were.
I hope this helps you on your way to making the game just how you like.
Thanks wayne Reed.
