@Killrob I was wondering whether there would be any wiggle room, with the devs, to make changes to the Chassis/Panel/Suspension page?
I think it would be awesome to be able to change the panel & chassis materials along with the F/R suspension types. This would mean that we could have lighter, sportier, versions of the standard models.
Chassis type and engine placement would still be locked for all trims.
I totally get why - sometimes, certain cars switch to lighter body materials on sporty trims (The Shelby GT350R’s carbon fibre vs GT350’s aluminum springs to mind), but doing so is exceedingly rare. I actually can’t think of a car that changed chassis materials, personally.
An alternative solution would be to just allow us to copy whole models, then we can keep the trims but change the chassis, the materials or the suspension (and in the long term maybe the have mid engined versions of hatchbacks) while keeping the fixture placement. This should take less coding to implement than change the whole system of how the models work.
