    The override xml slipped through the net. I added it this morning so it'll be there with the next hotfix. Making your own with corvette_c5r\corvette_c5r.xml should still work in the mean time.

    I'll have a look at these links also, see what’s happening. UPDATE: Links fixed, thanks for the heads up.

    @Rob Thompson
    The livery overrides do not work for the Miura anymore, all cars I've paintd appear red in the showroom. I know it has worked before the update when I checked them in the showroom two days ago.

    @F_B Good you noticed that, I've made some interesting changes for the Miura:

    If you check the new dist.xml, base paints have changed. You now have all the available paints + 4 extra ones that could not be in the base selection because of the limited number of slots. Each paint also comes with a variant "+ Oro" which will give gold side skirts and wheels:

    Interesting things starts now: You can now apply the vinyl of your choice over any of these paints by playing with the alpha channel of the texture without having to worry about the surrounding color, as can be the case with other types of overrides.

    You can still have a full livery with white alpha, or no alpha of course. For this, you can use any base livery, they will all look the same.

    And now, small detail, you can custom interior too, bicolor leather and stitching. Some preset textures are directly available in the override folder, .psd are available in the downloadable template if you want to do your own interior colors.

    That sounds super interesting but I'm not sure if I quite understand how to use it. Do you have an example?

    Sure, here is an example
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <USER_OVERRIDES>
    <LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="51" NAME="Livery name" BASELIVERY="Rosso Granada + Oro">
          <PREVIEWIMAGE PATH="\Livery\Preview_name.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="BODY" PATH="\your_livery.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER1" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_pelle_senape.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER2" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_pelle_senape.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="STITCH" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_stitch2_crema.dds" />
        </LIVERY_OVERRIDE>
     
    <LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="52" NAME="Livery name2" BASELIVERY="Argento">
          <PREVIEWIMAGE PATH="\Livery\Preview_name.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="BODY" PATH="\your_livery.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER1" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_blu_medio.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER2" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_blu_medio.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="STITCH" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_stitch2_blu.dds" />
        </LIVERY_OVERRIDE>
     
    <LIVERY_OVERRIDE LIVERY="53" NAME="Livery name3" BASELIVERY="Verde Rio">
          <PREVIEWIMAGE PATH="\Livery\Preview_name.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="BODY" PATH="\your_livery.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER1" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_pelle_senape.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="LEATHER2" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_leather_pelle_senape.dds" />
            <TEXTURE NAME="STITCH" PATH="\Interior\lam_miura_sv_stitch2_crema.dds" />
        </LIVERY_OVERRIDE>
    </USER_OVERRIDES>
    
    "your_livery.dds" being your custom texture, you can add vinyls, stickers, numbers with just alpha channel. You can apply it over every paint, including metallic ones without having to pay attention to the paint color.
    Here is the result (very basic texture)
