|- style="vertical-align:top"

| width="500px" | [[File:Truck_accessory_create_base_and_ma.jpg]]
| Inside '''02_truck_accessory''' create folders:

* '''base''' - for existing game resources which you will use
|- style="vertical-align:top"

****** '''f_grill'''
|- style="vertical-align:top"

| Inside '''/02_truck_accessory/mod_accessory/def/vehicle/truck/renault_magnum/accessory/f_grill''' create file called '''custom_g.sii''' which will contain definition of the grill.

And paste there the following example definition:

<pre>
SiiNunit
{
accessory_addon_data : unit.name
{
    name: "My front grill"
    price: 1
    unlock: 0
    icon: "f_grill_09"
    exterior_model: "model path"
}
}

</pre>

And keep the file opened.
|- style="vertical-align:top"
| width="10px" | '''4'''
| width="500px" | [[File:Truck_accessory_definition_description.jpg]]
| Now change definition as you want:

# "unit.name" must be set to some '''unique''' value - each component divided by dot can have '''max 12 characters'''. For example the good name will be '''custom.amazing.renault.f_grill'''
# The name is the name of the accessory in truck configuration screen. You can call it in any way.
# The price is a price of your accessory in game base currency (€ for ETS2, $ for ATS).
# The level when the accessory is unlocked. If zero it will be unlocked immediately on game start.
# The icon is a image that is displayed in truck configuration screen. We will leave the image at the moment as '''f_grill_09'''.
# The exterior_model is a model of the grill. It must a path to the '''.pmd''' file you will get after converting the data. So for this it will be: '''"/vehicle/truck/upgrade/frontgrill/renault_magnum_2009/custom_grill.pmd"'''.
