White parts on cars problem [fixed]

This problem has probably asked already but I couldn't find this in particular. I downloaded 11 random cars from gp4db.com and put them in via Wadupdater.
Now it all works fine except for the fact that some parts of all the cars are white. The wheelbase (if that's what you call it), the rear and the bottom of the car are white.
Also it only appears if a car is close to the camera or centered.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance ;)

I had the same problem I think its to do with missing levels of detail (lod) you could force lod 0 in gpx patch if your cpu is a beast!

Thanks for the replies guys,

still can't get it to work though. Did everything in the link from SPOKES; deleting it from the registry, installed again and
everything goes well until I must use the decrypted exe. The 1.02 version works, but I still have the white parts on the car
and the 1.00 version says I need the cd, which is in the drive! Is the 1.00 decrypted exe necessary or doesn't it matter??

Also; if I choose my Cars.wad in Teameditor it says it misses some textures like 'brakeglow_fongu.tex' and 'carbon_fongu.tex'
I don't know if that's the problem but I suppose it could be a lead. ;)

Excuse me for not solving the problem just yet, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong :(

If the underside and rear of any cars are white it means that a carbon.tex file is missing, a lot of cars use a seperate carbon or suspension texture (such as the 2011 cars converted from F12011) so I think that will be where the problem lies. Hope this helps anyway

Yes it works! Indeed with those brakeglow and carbon textures!
I downloaded them from a Toyota template and put them in cars.wad and it works smoothly!

Thanks guys, i'm off behind the wheel now ;-)
