How do I get different specs for my police car in Calling All Units?

[Wolfpup3]

Before I go spending my (in game) money, I want to double check this...

In the main game, I just basically used my Camero for everything, transforming it between different specs as required.

I finished the main game, and assumed I'd be doing the same thing for Calling All Units too. They give you a Street spec Mercedes, and I just assumed I'd be getting different specs for it too (probably for free).

But as near as I can tell, the Mercedes can ONLY be Street spec, there's no way to change it?

If that's the case, do you just have to buy police cars from each spec in order to actually play Calling All Units?

If so...lame. I paid money for this expansion, and I don't want to sit there and grind for hours/days/weeks to have enough money to actually play it (nor am I paying more real money).

The main game IMO is EASILY the best racing game ever made...it's not even a competition, but unless I'm missing something I may once again be underwhelmed by an overpriced expansion...

Correct, the police vehicles don't have the typical full stock base car that you purchase spec kits for.

I'm a bit confused why its such a big issue for you, however. The spec kits you got to change your Camaro from Street to any other spec were definitely not free either.

I'm pretty sure they were free...like Zoe provided them in-story.

I'll have to see how this goes, because I'll be pissed if I pay money to buy this and then am supposed to pay more to actually unlock the vehicles I need to play it.

EDIT: And anyway, thanks for letting me know! I thought I was maybe missing something.

Oh yeah, I think you are right on that one. When you play through the story mode you get one free spec kit when unlocking each of the tuners or something. Been so long I had forgotten.

First one's free.. That's how they get ya hehe. If you want to complete your collection though prepare to spend 10 mill or more especially if you purchase car parts instead of levelling them up yourself.

The Police cars do not work like the Normal or Extreme specs. Although they have a Full Stock Police in the gamefiles, it can't be seen and it can't be driven.
So, you basically immediately get 1 specific spec for each Police vehicle, for instance : Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (Police Street), Pagani Huayra (Police Performance), Mini Cooper (Police Circuit). The only car in Police with 2 specs is the Hotrod (Police Raid and Police Circuit), but those you have to buy seperately.
With the Normal and Extreme cars, you first buy the Full Stock, then go the specific tuners to get your spec. With the Police cars, you immediately get the specs, so don't have to go to the tuners, unless you want to upgrade it there.
