Add-on mod creation

I have been having trouble making an add on varient of a replacement mod. I followed a guide online and checked my work but am not finding my mistake. Whenever I try to spawn the car it just says invalid model

@V4D3R I apologize did not mean to place this in the wrong section
@ReNNie https://www.mediafire.com/folder/oc4jez6931tb2/Template+folder I have gotten no luck with it so far, Also here are the files that are the replace version that I am trying to make add on of https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/volkswagen-golf-mk3-gti

@godbmxes Oh I have that one in my volkswagen dlcpack
We'll get there.

First, could you please re-upload the seperate files inside a winrar archive?
I'm not upgrading to a bulk mediafire account neither am I going to download 10 seperate files right now

@ReNNie Here you go! https://www.mediafire.com/file/zob0zvvxh9qi6a0/Add+On+Help.rar

@godbmxes Here goes:

you don't need extratitleupdatedata.meta nor dlctext.meta, remove them from the dlc and content.xml;
if you don't want to buy this car ingame via the dealership or online site but just spawn it, you don't need caraddoncontentunlocks.meta;
your folder structure can be simplified to <filename>dlc_MK3GT:/data/vehicles.meta</filename> and <filename>dlc_MK3GT:/%PLATFORM%/MK3GTvehicles.rpf</filename>;
you use the dlc name 'MK3GT' inside the dlc structure yet in dlclist.xml you have <Item>dlcpacks:\MK3GTI\</Item> so the dlc.rpf has to be in a folder MK3GTI. Tip: you make less mistakes if you keep the dlc name and folder name the same...
your content.xml is showing an error on line 45 <Item>dlc_MK3GT:/%PLATFORM%/levels/gta5/vehicles/[FOLDER NAME]vehicles.rpf</Item> ... where folder name should read MK3GT

Now, download an Add-On from authors like ahmeda1999, Zievs or Lord Neophyte and examine their folder structure inside the dlc.rpf, content.xml and setup2.xml once more.

Report back?!

@ReNNie Thanks a bunch, I will follow along and report back after work!

Alright IU was able to work on this,

You want me to remover extratittleupdate and dlctext from the content.xml?
The folder labeled MK3GTI is what I actually placed in the mods folder, I do not think I added that part
Super confused lol, not sure if those are lines out of a file or if they are the file paths
Should I change it to MK3GT inside of the dlclist? Also yoiu are saying I should just use one name say MK3GTI for everything?
I changed line 45 to <Item>dlc_MK3GT:/%PLATFORM%/levels/gta5/vehicles/MK3GTvehicles.rpf</Item> Not sure if there should be a space there or not?

Also for good measure i am downloading a few mods from the creators listed above and also here is the link to the addon guide I used https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/add-on-base
