    dff = engineLoadDFF( "garage.dff", 0 )
     
    engineReplaceCOL( col, modelId )

    col = engineLoadCOL( "garage.col" )
    txd = engineLoadTXD( "garage.txd" )
    dff = engineLoadDFF( "garage.dff", 0 )
     
    engineReplaceCOL( col, modelId )
    engineImportTXD( txd, modelId )
    engineReplaceModel( dff, modelId )

Additonal Note

Sometimes you need to replace the model far away from where the model/texture change is being made so if you are in the game and you are trying to replace a model then get away from the model till it is gone from your draw distance for making sure that this problem won't happen
