Is the alpha channel active? When you open the dds with a black alpha the picture should be full transparent (nothing visible).
I use Gimp, so I´m not sure how to do things in PS.

Heyho again and sorry for not answering, I was away from the PC.

The black lines are the wireframe, which you used as a template. Some models on Manipark have templates like this wireframe or a prelight, which help you skinning.
The wireframe shows you where the different parts are and if they are curved on the model. As you only used 1 big picture, this was not so important for you, but you have to delete that layer before saving as dds. Otherwise you still see it on the car ;)
If you also have a prelight, you can use it as a additional layer, which you multiply with your skin to make it look more realistic.

Good luck and don`t hesitate to ask more, if you need help. (I`m still not sure about your alpha f.e. as it still looks shiny although it should be matt with a black alpha, but that may be due to the screenshot)
