Requirements For Custom Skins
To get a custom skins in Trackmania, you will need Club Access. This allows you to both join club´s, but also make your own skin that you can use in game.
A good tip is the game often has a discount, so it´s sometimes worth waiting for a winter sale.
Examples Of Cool Custom Skins!
Creating Your Own Skin

This will take you to a new screen with a "Garage"
Here you are met with the Prestige skins. These are won through various ways during the Seasons:
Or you can choose the "My Skins" which brings you to a new menu, where you can "Create a skin", "Edit" an existing skin or "Upload" a skin.
Now in the "Create" skin you are met with an interface and a car. You can here draw on the car and save it.
If you want a professionally made skin. You have 3 options.
1. Finding a skin that fits you in a club/skins list.
2. Getting a custom skin from a skin creator.
3. Buying a custom skin online.
Finding A Custom Skin In A Club

First option is going to the "Clubs" tab in the main menu.
