Hello djharbi2,

did you know that you can use shaders to replace ingame textures? With shaders you can write text into a DX render-target and then attach it to a shader that would replace your license plate texture! With this technique you can create a custom license plate GUI like in your picture above. Here are some hints to lead you in the right direction:

• dxCreateRenderTarget - create the dynamic texture where you can draw text on
• dxDrawText - draw your own text onto the license plate
• dxDrawRectangle - you can fill that blue color on the left side with this function
• dxCreateShader - you have to create a shader that would replace the license plate texture of your vehicle
• dxSetShaderValue - function to attach your render-target with custom text to the license plate shader
• engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture - to attach your shader to the vehicle texture

Have you already looked at the resource community for sample scripts? It is always a good idea to learn from already existing code  

• customvehplate - seems to do what you want; you just have to adjust it to fit your style + extend for GUI!

Feel free to post any questions.

Thank you for your answer, this adds pictures on the existing plate. but I want to add a picture separately. Think like a sticker.

Is the problem that the resource does just replace the text but not the surrounding plate texture? Then you could take a look at the following thread:

WASSIm. did provide a really interesting answer. There are texture of vehicles called "plateback1", "plateback2", "plateback3" which should be replaced using shaders.
