I have made a version of Nakai-san's Stella Artois car.

How do you get the vinyl's in the gold colour though?

The best way to do it is to have the base colour of the car be gold. Then use black layers to mask it out.

I did have a look about and saw some YT videos, I did see quite a lot of comments about people trying and it not working anymore, I have had a go but I cannot get it to work either, also I just don't have the skills to do it and more so with some of the vinyl's on the car, yes there are only a few but I cannot mask around them close enough.

Why not just let people pick from all the colours?

:(

This is the real car.

Turned that small FIAT X1/9 into a fun little rally/cross country machine

I'm assuming for whatever reason having user editable shinyness or access to reflection/refraction for stickers hasn't been included.

And yes, you can do the technique that zorbie said, although it will make reproduction without a doubt way much harder. I just recently made this which uses this effect:

Welp, lost 2 million credits trying to duplicate cars. I was doing it for science only as I have almost every car I wanted.

On the bright side, it works with forzathon rewards, so now I have an extra sesto elemento.
 
Never done a Forzathon before, what is it ?

Every weekend there are challenges to complete in-game for prizes. Start​ the game on a weekend and you'll be told it's Forzathon, and you'll be able to see the list of 3/4 challenges for the event.

For example, here are this weekend's challenges:

Any guesses what the 2nd expansion may be?

I'm thinking gymkhana. That would be new to the Forza franchise and the team certainly has experience from their time with Codemasters.

Dear Lord please no. To me it was the worst part of the DIRT series, the game's got a beautiful open world, I don't want to have wasted money on the expansion pack if it's going to be single-car precision drifting...

No thanks I don't need a pack of the focus from blizzard mountain that need suspension adjusted to not spin out in actual racing

Oh I don't want it either, I'm just saying it's the most likely option.

My previous guess was Porsche "expansion" but thankfully we got a car pack instead.

That's awesome! Almost wanna buy the pack now...

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I will try and do better, I think I will have a go at a GAF one with the logos I have, I want another GT2 but they are CR-500k in the shop but are going for more in the auction rooms! I don't understand because if you don't have the DLC they you cannot buy one as it will show a market place error.

I have seen others mentioning an issue with the 30% off cars from the shop, but nobody is saying what the actual issue is?

I want to know and also if it works with the 10% off you can pay for in the Skills thing, thus giving 40% off, I want to get something like the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, Ferrari 250 GT, Lamborghini Veneno, one of them CR-10m cars anyway, I am not sure it is worth it though compared to the HE cars :/

I thought it may be better for me to buy some of the cars with the Tokens you buy with real money, I have had a look and the 250 Testa Rossa are 10,000 and I looked at how much these would cost to buy and they were £84, that's correct EIGHTY FOUR POUNDS EIGHTY FOUR ACTUAL POUNDS! are they insane?

Go for it, I've got too much credits and nothing to use it on.

How do people get so many credits, is it all from that bug from early on where people were able to get billions?

I have had to grind the Goliath track to buy 99% of the HE cars :( if there are any spare credit's going though.

a nice choice in car ;3
When I was a kid, the McLaren F1 was the best car in some games (NFS II, IV, Cruis'n World), so it ended up as one of my favorites.

I didn't buy the most expensive HE cars. :p
Not a fan of them, I prefer to race with stock cars.

I have a ton of money. If you want to put a car up in the auction house, I'll buy it for a few million.
Thanks for the offer! I've put a Sesto Elemento and a Warthorg for sale (and a bunch of Focus RS HE but I couldn't reduce the buyout).

I'm like level 700 something and got most of the HE cars with wheel spins. I also get 450k or whatever each week with forza rewards. I ran laps around Goliath going for its leaderboard, but did a 50 lap race at some point too.

I only use like a dozen cars I love really, so 40 million is more than I need.

Nah, I think they know how unpopular something like that would be.
It will be another island, with Rally.
Maybe a new city....

The GT version is actually a bit less powerful but has the perfect look, so sleek and awesome compared to the pile of knives lambos look nowaways

I'd love an island or somewhere with loads of flowing segments and as few 90 turns as possible for some proper racing fun

Holy shit. Probably a cross-country race. Do you have Blizzard Mountain? The Blizzard Peak cross-country has a big ramp at the start which is good for that.

This is probably the best tutorial vid for this challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYs_FITEyaE

More tips here: https://www.trueachievements.com/a232658/forzathon-airborne-hero-achievement

I'm guessing it's going to be a rare car, because not all people will use help to figure out how to complete the challenge and it lasts only 1 day.

That's a lot! how long did the 50 laps take though?

I am level 460ish I get the CR-450k a week and I have the VIP spins but the amount I win is usually pretty low and the HE cars I have only won about five and they were the easy ones like the Corvette, Polaris buggy, Focus and the M3, I have had to buy all of the rest other than the ones on the #Forzathons the:
Lamborghini Huracan cost me CR-7mm
Subaru BRZ cost me CR-3.2m
Nissan GTR Black cost me CR-3.8m
M4 cost me CR-2m
Jaguar Project 7 cost me CR-2m
Supra RZ cost me CR-2.5m
even the Torana cost me CR-600k!

That's CR-21m then there are the others on top like the Ford Escort and Mustang so there must have been CR-30m spent on HE cars alone, and then I like to tune my cars up :(

I did get a prize of CR-5m from zorbsie for the livery competition which went to the Huracan though.

That's a pretty easy challenge really, the issue for people will be not knowing about the day that the event is on.

So is anyone elses Forzathon not tracking?

Mine is working ok, the 30% discount is not working though, what are you on X1 or PC?

The way I do the #Forzathons is each one at once and I don't do anything until I get the notification, I mean the other week with the #barrel roll' one where you had to do fifteen I think it was, I had done a load and it never flashed up and I went into it again and read that it had to be done in a Nissan lol and I was doing it in Subaru lol, this weeks you need to do so-many 'kangaroo jumps' I just drove over the dunes until it flashed up, the thing I have always go on about is I wish it showed on the screen how many jumps or rolls or whatever you have done like 10 out of 15.

Another heads up as you need specific cars for these #Forzathons

#Forzathon Pork Chop Starts in 6 days
Perform 30 Lumberjack Skills in the WARTHOG to receive 120,000 CR.

#Forzathon Eye On The Spy Starts in 13 days
Complete a Championship in the Aston Martin DB5 to win Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3

The DB5 is pretty expensive CR-500k I think so best to see if there are any going cheap in the auction house.

Thanks for posting this. Not sure if I have the DB5.
What is a lumberjack skill? I assume it's knock down a couple trees quickly, but don't know the specifics. Anyone know?

Thanks for these! Some are a little wrong though, and some I've never even seen.
