Ok, so here's the update to the Martini S4 fixing the missing Lancia badge on the Toivonen skin. I also made it bigger on both skins so now it match the size of the real car.

If you're following me on Race Department there's a chance you feel a bit flooded with constant notifications about updates, and fixes to updates, and updates again. Sorry for that, but it's easy to find things to improve and of course there's the bugs, forgotten things here and there or just messed up ZIP, PSSG or readme files. Sorry for that, but thanks to everyone making reports of what's wrong or broken!

Now this is a recap of the last update I made but I didn't post here yet:
-Focus WRC01 updated with tire textures
-Impreza WRC01-02 updated with tire textures, plus a repositioning of the pig logo which now doesn't appear on the dashboard view
-Stratos updated with tire textures (a very small mark, better than a naked tire) plus two fixes to the  livery (dark plastic on rear wheel arches and a misalignent on the Alitalia logo)
soon:
-Impreza 555: tire textures, a new (again) background blue and the update Sainz livery moved into the package
-Delta S4 Esso with tire textures and update from the Martini S4
-Focus Fiesta WRC12 with complete tire textures

All downloads are here.

All your liveries are amazing! I use all of them without exception. For the other cars I have to pick and choose to which one looks best, but whenever you make a new one I instantly replace the old one with yours. Please keep up the good work!

I hope someone  will make liveries for the Pikes Peak cars anytime soon, seeing as they are the only ones without a community-made livery.

  as you probably have noticed, the Pikes Peak cars in D:R already have their historically authentic livery.
Why should the community make liveries here ?

I'm happy that the skinners concentrate on doing authentic liveries in the Rally Cars section, as the vast majority of them got relaesed into the Sim without any officially skins.

They do, but that doesn't mean certain sponsors, etc are all present. (The 405 launched without Pioneer, but that was patched in later).
After all, the game has pretty authentic liveries for the Peugeot 205 T16 E2 and Subaru Impreza 01, but that hasn't stopped people making more detailed ones. ;)
I suspect there just isn't as much interest, which is fair enough. People make what they want to, which is why I'm only hoping for and not expecting modified driver textures for Burns and McRae in 01.

Dear @meerkat80!

I just wanna leave a huge thank you here for your amazing work, your skins looking sharp and beautiful even on my pretty bad quality laptop screen, and with the updates they just keep getting better. The new tire textures are also very well detailed, so thank you once again, especially for the Lancia and the Group B skins, generally they are my favorite ones. :)

My absolute favourite is the Impreza 1995 livery.

(2560*1600, it's a bit big to post here)
Absolutely beautiful!
One thing that is sort of weird though: It seems like the blue interior bars are white on the outside somehow. Any idea why this happens?

Interior textures are completely seperate from external ones.
Reskins tend not to have new interior textures because they are universal. Regardless of which skin you're using, the interior is always the same.

Uh, they should be blue, because I edited the internal texture in a past update. I keep f###ing up the updates, as usual :)
Let me check. 
Edit:
Ok the white rollcage was JUST into the McRae 555 PSSG. Uploading the fixed ZIP now.

PS
The whole chassis is still white-greysh, and I know it's ugly but changing the whole chassis color is a pain and everytime I start I get bored sometime in the middle of it. :(

Yeah, the interior texture was fine with the blue bars, which is what is seen on internal views.
It was just 555_cabin in the exterior textures for Colin's 555 that still had the white. Censored and Sainz were fine.

For the benefit of others reading, the textures you see while playing/replaying using the interior views are different from those you see from the outside of the car looking in.
Virtual Cockpit textures are in cars\interiors\models\ and there is only one which is applied to all skins for that car.
Whereas the car interior you see on external views is contained in the same .pssg archive as the whole exterior.

So if anyone is using a modded virtual cockpit texture, it will be applied to every single skin for that car.
If you're using a default skin or another one which Meerkat hasn't done, you'll still see blue bars in the virtual cockpit and not on the exterior views.
Just a limitation to how the game handles those textures.

Alright, but that still doesn't really explain it.
With Meerkat's beautiful 555 texture I get the modded interior as well as exterior when the camera is inside the car, however, when the camera is outside the car the interior texture isn't modded anymore. So I don't know. It isn't a huge deal, just something I noticed.

Also, it appears that no-one has made a Lancia Fulvia HF livery yet!

I think I really am the only one who bought the Fulvia over the Mini! I even prefer driving it.

That's exactly what I explained, lol.
For Colin's 555 (not censored) the cabin texture hadn't been modified with the blue bars (the fixed version is already available now).
The cabin texture determines the interior from the views outside of the car.
The interior texture determines what you see with the internal views (virtual cockpit).
If the cabin and interior textures don't match, then what you see on the interior and exterior views won't match either.

Let's explain with pics.
First, the fully modded way




In-game, that gives us this



All's good.

But if we go to a default skin, but still using the modded virtual cockpit texture




As you can see, now they don't match up any more. We see white bars inside the car from the exterior views, but still blue bars on the virtual cockpit views.
That's the limitation. You can't have unique virtual cockpit textures for each individual skin.
Has that helped with explaining why the problem happened?

Meerkats uploaded the fixed version now, which makes Colin's 555 version work the same as the censored version I've pictured.

I'm sorry to say it hasn't!
I fully understand your explanation, however, like you can see in the image I uploaded (https://i.pantsu.cat/mcwiys.jpg), I AM using Meerkat80's custom livery, and you can see the blue interior isn't visible from the exterior. I am using version 2.3 of @meerkat80 's livery there.

The version you're using doesn't have the fix, it's that simple.
Go here
http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/subaru-impreza-555-1995-mcrae-sainz.6410/history
And make sure to download the newest one (updated today at 18:34)
The one on the overview page, ie the big download button on the left, is an older version. (14:20)

The problem you're having only happened with the older version of that particular livery, Colin's 555.
It wasn't happening with the Censored version or with Sainz's
