After you design and upgrade your car it still appears in the car thumbnail in stock form. I know there is a way to show the body kits in the thumbnail for your cars but I can’t remember how to do it. Can someone please remind me of the trick to doing this.

Try this:

  1. Get in the required car and remove any design that is on there. Now remove any Bodykits or Tunes so that you’re starting with a completely stock vehicle.

  2. Now add the Bodykit/Parts that you want to eventually show in your Storefront & save to the car.

  3. Go to the MY DESIGNS tab & load the required design on to your car.

  4. Go to APPLY VINYLS AND DECALS. (You are shown the right side of the car with the cursor on Tile 1).

  5. Press the X button to delete Tile 1 then press the Y button to insert it again.

  6. Press the B button & select SAVE TO DESIGN CATALOGUE then press A to save a new file. You will get a prompt to name this new file, I recommend you rename this file TEST.

  7. After performing the save the game immediately gives you a prompt to share this new file… press the B button to cancel - this is the important bit!!!

  8. Go to MY DESIGNS & load the file named TEST.

  9. Go to APPLY VINYLS AND DECALS. (You are shown the right side of the car with the cursor on Tile 1).

  10. Press the X button to delete Tile 1 then press the Y button to insert it again.

  11. Press the B button & select SAVE TO CURRENT CAR.

  12. Go to the MY DESIGNS tab, scroll to the file named TEST, press the A button & select SHARE. Now fill out the required fields & press the A button to share the file. Your design will now show in your Storefront with the required Bodykit/Parts.

** Remember - Your design will always show as the stock version in the MY DESIGNS tab **

I did this twice as I typed & it worked perfectly :+1:t5:

Hopefully, it will have worked for you too… but you obviously don’t want a Design file with the name ‘TEST’ in your Storefront so go to MY DESIGNS & UNSHARE, then RENAME, then SHARE again (make sure you do it in that order!)

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

Its a lot of steps though, so im not planning on going through this with designs already shared, but will definitely try this on some future upload.

Glad to be able to help guys :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers Blue. Once you’ve done it a few times you’ll rattle through it I promise. My original tutorial was deliberately written with complete new comers in mind, so the more experienced players will know which steps they can bypass. Personally I stick to the above method because for the sake of a couple of moves I’m guaranteed to get it right.

That’s a neat trick. I’ll try that out on future releases.

Let me take out 3 steps for you all on existing designs you have saved:

1: Load design with body kit etc - Unshare it!!!
2: Apply Edit viñas-do the x y delete on tile 1 and
2.5. save to design catalog
3. Dont share (hit B)
4. Go to design catalog and share

Done!
