GPL hi-res texture help

i downloaded a car set on the weekend (http://www.racesimcentral.net/) but i can't
figure out how to install it.  the documents all say just expand it out in the
car67 directory and use the wheelswap program?  i did that but it still won't
display.

i'm using GPL 1.2.01 (UK version, i think the Aust version is the uk version?)

i had a look around bhms but i couldn't find any extra utils i need?

Go to your GPL/cars/cars67 folder. Open each car folder and delete
everything *EXCEPT* the <carname>.dat file. You can also, I think, keep
cam files if you like. Alternatively, back up the car folder you have
and grab the one on your GPL CD.

Unzip the installer file jf_carset_1.1.exe into your cars folder.

run it.

Follow the prompt to overwrite the cars 67 directory.

Each car folder should now have a load of new files in it.

There's also a new file in the cars 67 folder called wheelswap.bat.
Double click that and you'll get a dos window asking which 2D or 3D
wheels you want to add to each car. Just type the relevant letter or you
can do all the cars in one go (see the instructions in the dos window).
If you only select wheels for one car you have to re-run it to do
another car.

It's in the instructions at the bottom of the page where you got the
carset from :)

Have fun
