Figured it was time for me to contribute to this thread with some minor (yet useful at least for me) things:
- Custom grid types based on power ratio and other elements
This file adds new grid types as I wasn't too happy with the default Similar P/W ratio and HP difference. These are based on a 20% P/W and 10% HP ratio so that your random grids will now feature similarly powered and balanced opponents. There are also more filters based on different percentages (10% P/W + 10% BHP difference for example) as well as same country or same era filters. One thing I've just added and I'm still testing (mostly to make it compatible with all mods as some modders input their car countries differently) is the same P/W + BHP ratio filter added with checks for European, American and Asian countries so that you can have your grids be of the same continent of origin too (NOTE: It doesn't check for your car's country of origin, so you might still be in an American car and decide to race vs European cars only if that's your wish)

- Revised UK License Plate in CM Paintshop
This was another pet peeve of mine, I've always liked the look of the UK license plate but the default CM one wasn't quite up to standard for me. I've changed the font (from dafont) and the plate background (made in Photoshop, still not perfect) and also made it fit on cars with European (wider) plates. You can also find a Vertical version too for cars with US/JP license plate format.
There is a problem with this one: cars that have a front plate will not have a white background because I couldn't find a way to differentiate the textures via CM, If I can update it somehow later to fix this I'll do it but right now I'm content with it. Maybe I could make an alternate version that only has the white background in the future.
